Some things are difficult to hide.

Rumors have begun in the army that Ella is a royal family of the Seven Hills Empire. After all, the purple robe symbolizes an extremely high status in the Seven Hills Empire.

Moreover, since Ella got on the ship, Olus has strictly prohibited soldiers from entering the island. In the eyes of the soldiers, this is like preparing to undergo someone's inspection. Fortunately, Ella's hair is no longer golden, so the closest version of the rumor that the truth is nothing more than saying that Ella is the illegitimate daughter of the former king and the younger sister of Barcelona today.

But this level of rumors is enough. Most soldiers are keeping a distance from Ella. Some soldiers are taking the initiative to take care of Ella's diet and daily life with the idea of ​​pleasing Ella.

But Ella couldn't eat anything and couldn't sleep.

She looked at the horizon all day long, and every time the sun rose, she became even more desperate. As the sun rolled in the sky, she began to think of her fate. She imagined the thirty-two endings after she returned to the Qiqiu Empire, each of which was extremely dark - even though the great sun was emitting its light with all its might, wanting to illuminate everything on the ground.

And she could not call for help, could not escape, and could not even have such thoughts. Because the messenger of the Tianfang Empire had already explained everything: if Ella was missing, the entire fleet would be abandoned in the ocean.

The third day is here.

The soldiers took off their clothes and soaked them into the sea as Gregory ordered. Ella felt that such a scene was not suitable for her to watch, so she had to carry it over. The things in her field of vision suddenly changed from the sea, the sun and the horizon to masts and decks that were close to each other.

Not long after, she heard the sound of soldiers returning to the ship. This also means that the time for Ella to be brought back to the Qiqiu Empire is about to come.

An unprecedented sense of sadness instantly surged into Ella's heart.

At this time, she realized how childish and ridiculous the story of the Tabasa princess and the White Knight she had always liked:

A princess should have been married to a powerful neighbor and fought for a reliable ally for her country. But Princess Tabasa seemed to have no responsibility. She could elope with the White Knight without restraint, but her country would not suffer any losses because of the lack of an ally - such a story is just a fairy tale to deceive children.

The footsteps of the soldiers kept approaching Ella.

Just as Ella felt uncomfortable because they were too close and wanted to turn around and scold her, a hand suddenly reached out from Ella's back and covered Ella's mouth.

Ella struggled subconsciously, but the hand was too powerful. No matter how hard Ella pulled it, she could only make a disastrous "whimper" sound from her mouth.

At this time, the other people walked to Ella. When they saw the person in the lead, Ella was shocked and forgot to struggle. Under the armor of the Seven Hills Empire, Hestein's burly body was like a bisque.

This man has obviously run away by boat, why is he back now?

"I'm here to take the head of the commander of this fleet." Hestein glared at Ella viciously, "Tell me which boat he is on, or throw you off the boat!"

Before Ella could react, Bjorn's voice came from behind Ella: "Don't be afraid. Your maid has told us everything about you. Killing a general is just by the way. If you don't know where he is, just shake your head. We are here to save you this time, after all, you are our important partner."

"Don't talk too much!" Hestein glared at Bjorn, and then said to Ella in a more vicious tone, "Who allowed you to come here? Now, go back with me right away!"

Hastein already knows everything?

Then, is he going to save me?

This unexpected plot made Ella stunned for a moment.

"Boss, OK, it's time for those soldiers to find out if they don't leave!" Bjorn let go of the hand covering Ella's mouth, pointed at the pirates behind Hestein and ordered: "You, change your armor quickly. You stick your beard to her. Princess, you're OK. Most of the soldiers are in the sea, but some soldiers stay on the beach to watch. We will definitely pass by them when we get off the boat, so you must act naturally! Believe us, we are the partners we fought together, right? Listen to us, you won't be taken back to the Qiqiu Empire!"

"Who wants to follow you!"

Ella started crying and shouting.

"Have I ever asked you? Is it better to be taken away by you than to be taken away by the Qiqiu Empire? What do you know? There are now tens of thousands of soldiers from the Qiqiu Empire, and their destiny is in my hands. What will they do if I follow you?"

Bjorn quickly covered Ella's mouth again, but Ella struggled even harder.

Several soldiers noticed the noise on the ship and cast doubtful eyes.

Seeing this situation, Hestein suddenly had blue veins on his head. He pushed away the pirates who were supporting him, and punched Ella on the deck in front of Ella's toes, and suddenly opened a hole the size of a fist on the deck, which scared Ella so much that she closed her mouth.

"Who is asking about your wishes?"

Hestein said, glaring at Ella.

"Princess? Don't forget that you are just my prisoner now! You can always be at my mercy until you pay the ransom! Put on my armor immediately!"

"I... am a prisoner?"

Ella suddenly collapsed on the ground. Although Hestein's words were rough, they destroyed the high wall that had built in her heart and hindered her.

She always thought that she was necessary and necessary to do so. She was the royal family of the Qiqiu Empire, and for the sake of the empire, she had to sacrifice herself.

But Hestein told her that she was a prisoner, not a free man, and now she has no room to choose her future.

If this is the case, she actually doesn't have to take responsibility at all... She is just a prisoner. Who can blame her for just escaping this matter like this?

——Did Hestein say so, want to save her?

Bjorn said:

"Princess, no one will blame you for this. Come with us! Although the boss said fiercely, if you saved him on the battlefield, he would not treat you badly. I can guarantee that the boss can make you worry-free for the rest of your life."

Hestein squatted down, maintaining the same height as Ella, who was slumped on the ground:

"You have successfully found gold for me. I said that you can promise you anything. You told me before that you hope that I can marry you as your wife, but that is probably not your true wish? I know what you want - a military force, an elite force that can help you seize the throne. Follow me and you will get it."

Ella shivered and reached out to the armor she handed over - that was her hope for survival. But if she put it on, the Seven Hills Empire might perish.

The Seven Hills Empire may perish as a result.

But why did his hand stretched forward without hesitation?

And why, tears can't stop sliding down my cheeks?

...

...

Amy looked at the fleet docked on the shore from afar and murmured to herself:

"Your Majesty... Hestein must be very rude, right? Who made Your Majesty so strong... A person who is not stronger than Your Majesty can't convince Your Majesty at all."

"I know, Your Majesty loves the Seven Hill Empire more deeply than anyone else. If you don't use this method, Your Majesty will never be willing to come back... So, accept... Your Majesty... Accept... Your White Knight is here. The White Knight rescued Princess Tabasa, just like a fairy tale, right?"

"Although... the so-called fairy tales and the so-called knights are just illusions woven with lies after hiding interests."
