Chapter 214

Which one to choose?

He has always been the one who put pressure on others, but today he didn't even let himself go.

"Come on, tell me—"

As Will, as Will System, as the captain that everyone trusts, as the person who raised them with his own hands.

And as the person Treya needs at this moment and every moment in the future——

He looked at the absolutely powerful sword in his hand.

"Let's go."

- opened the door.

Chapter 244 She is at the Near Shrine

Ta-ta-ta.

Listening to the wheels rolling on the ground, Will looked out the window of the carriage. The drizzle had slowly fallen. Looking out from the mountainside, on the top of the mountain in the distance, dark clouds seemed to have collapsed and landed on the dark green peaks. top.

Will had never thought the walk to the palace could be so long.

He had obviously walked this road many times, because almost every weekend, he and Treya would find some reason to "promote their relationship" and have a small gathering in her palace, asking Will to open a small stove for her. , talk about the royal family.

Let her...

Understand more about "yourself", your "environment", and even more about "other people".

When Will anxiously faced the drizzle outside the window several times and stuck his head out to check his current location, the driver in front of the carriage spoke -

"Mr. Will, I didn't expect you to show up."

"...I...I just went to do some...more important things."

Will actually recalled it.

Although he had a lot of fun during this period, the most important thing was "investigating the whereabouts of the Green Stone". It’s not like there’s nothing to do.

"It's great that you can stand up and help Princess Thereya at this time."

When he said this, Will suddenly realized that this carriage driver seemed to be the one who had been delivering Thereia.

After he went to the guard to "surrender", he was told to go home and wait. Within about an hour, the coachman drove a carriage that clearly belonged to the "royal family" and stopped in front of his house - much like every time he used to Go to Treya's house.

Obviously, everything now seems like it was every day three years ago.

but……

The weather above him, the atmosphere around him, and Treya waiting for him were no longer what they were three years ago.

"Is she... in a bad situation now?"

"Miss Treya? Of course. But now in the royal family, there are not many people who can speak well of the 'situation'. Her Highness Treya just seems more silent than before."

The reins in the coachman's hand were swung very fast, and the four legs of the white horse in front appeared double as it ran on the already muddy ground, and its feet were stained with mud.

"...Will she...will she...mention me?"

"According to her maid, she does mention you every day. Mr. Will, you may not understand, but Your Highness Treya really hopes that you can come back..."

Ta-ta-ta.

The wheels of the carriage continued to roll on the ground, but Will was silent and did not continue what he said.

"However, Your Highness should be fine recently. After all...she met Mr. Carver in person. Although all the servants were withdrawn from that meeting, no one knows what they talked about."

“!!!!!!”

Will's eyes widened when he heard this.

he……

He was indeed right!

From Treya's perspective, she will eventually reach this point, and she will definitely go find Carver!

"She...when did she meet Carver?!"

"When... well... it was probably a day ago. It was a cloudy day a day ago, and it seemed to rain a little."

"..."

Will clenched his fists, he was still a step too late.

If he had been earlier, he should have been able to stop Treya's decision. However, it doesn't matter, as long as she confirms what she and Carver said, the matter can still be solved.

Ta-ta-ta.

The carriage slowly drove into the palace and drove slowly deeper...

But it didn't take the path that Will was familiar with.

According to Will's memory, if he wanted to see Treya in the palace, he should go all the way up to the right, but the carriage now went to the left.

what happens?

"Are we going in the right direction?"

"Of course, sir, Your Highness Treya is waiting for you at Jinjin Palace."

"..."

Near the shrine?

Will doesn't remember the name of every area in the royal family, but...

Does this name sound a little "big"? It seemed like a place where someone of His Majesty's rank would live.

clatter--

As the carriage braked, it finally transported the anxious Will to the place and stopped.

"Mr. Will, please go here. Her Highness Treya is waiting for you inside."

"no problem."

The Near Shrine is indeed a place that Will has never been to before. A closer look shows that it covers a large area. Looking around, it seems that there is more than one door.

The door where Will got out of the car was just a side door.

The distance was very short, so he took off the hood he had been wearing to hide his identity without an umbrella, and walked into the palace against the cold autumn rain.

This long and narrow corridor is very dark, but in the distance, you can see the light at the end.

The bright color is just like the white on Treya's body, bright and beautiful.

Will took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the sword given to Treya.

Even though the sword hilt was wrapped with a layer of cloth, it was still so cold after he squeezed it tightly in his warm palms stained with sweat.

"call……"

His heart was beating fast and he had never been so nervous.

Go forward step by step.

——What should I say when I see her?

——When her name is called, she might tremble a little and then look back in disbelief.

The light in front of my eyes is expanding little by little.

——When looking at him, her expression will be as calm as before, but it can be seen that her light blue eyes are already spinning.

——Would she want to rush up and hug him?

Soon.

He was getting closer to Treya.

——Or should I say...

——Will you be patient for a little while, put your hands on your chest, and give him a smile?

Will walked faster and faster.

At the end he started running.

——But no matter what, he will look at her and say...

——"I'm back" right?

arrive.

The end of the corridor.

This long journey was finally completed by Will.

At the end of the corridor, there is a place similar to a living room that is very tall but not very large. Perhaps because it faces a window, light shines through.

What he expected...

Princess Treya was standing there, her long silver hair pouring down like a waterfall. Silver took up most of her color, and she looked so beautiful.

"Treya."

Will was still panting, and while panting, he called her name.

"Wei...Will..."

Treya visibly trembled when she heard his voice.

Yes.

This was the action he expected from Treya.

She will be surprised because she has been waiting for her for a long time.

She will be surprised that he responds to her.

This was the most important meeting the two of them had finally had after a long time.

"Treya, I...I'm back, as you expected...I..."

Then she slowly turned around.

Only then did Will realize that she was wearing a black gauze skirt and black high heels, which made her even more tall.

but……

"...I'm back..."

Why……

Why does her left eye...

Wearing a blindfold?

Chapter 245: Treya·Checkmate

In the palace two days ago——

On that rainy day like "today"——

The "chess" game between Treya and Carver progressed slowly, accompanied by the soft sound of rain and the sound of crystal chess pieces falling on the chessboard.

"He has a lot of power. For weak civilian businessmen like us, this is the most terrifying thing."

After saying this with the sound of thunder, Carver moved his soldiers one step forward.

He did not directly send other chess pieces with more murderous intent, but he was not "defending" at all, and the chess pieces were still "attacking" forcefully at every step.

Treya did not immediately reply to Carver's words.

She coldly jumped into the battlefield with her horse that had not yet struck.

In such a meeting where chess represented "attitude", Carver immediately understood what the other party meant when he asked him to continue talking.

"The noble royal family is like a dark cloud hanging over our heads, with torrential rain falling intermittently and the sun peeking out intermittently. This is already a very unbearable thing for us."
