Chapter 104: Nave's Past
Neve Chloe unfastened her armor and threw it on the ground, slamming it with a thud, showing its weight. She took the towel from the shelf and wiped the sweat from her body as she moved her neck from side to side. It is true that she does not apply powder, and her skin is slightly rough, but this young body exudes an alluring youth and vitality that cannot be compared to the delicate and smooth skin of a noble lady who cannot help but be restrained. She has short hair, she has little tiger teeth, she doesn't smile, but these imperfections make her more perfect. She is the most outstanding woman of the Chloe family's generation, and has been given the title of "Lilac Knight", a distinction that was previously given to only one person, and that is a certain princess who saved Saramonroe. It can be said that Nev Chloe is a proud woman of heaven that makes men want to have, and she is also a wild horse that makes men want to tame.
This unruly and unruly she is thinking of him at the moment.
He was one of the few people in the country who could speak on an equal footing with her. He is the eldest prince, with good character, personable demeanor, and a benevolent heart, and is considered to be the successor of His Majesty, much better than the second prince. He is also Nave's fiancΓ©, and this marriage was contracted since childhood, but Nav does not resist. Many times Nave dreamed of his gentle eyes and plain smile, and when she woke up, she was too ashamed to think about it, as if she had committed some military rule. She is also a woman, and she also wants a man who can understand her and tolerate her. Nave has never mentioned his feelings and dreams to others, even his closest brother.
Wiped off the sweat, Nave changed into clean clothes, but still wearing her skirt and boots. She thought about it for a moment and put on iron gloves, because she needed to walk with weights and temper her body repeatedly, and the thirty kilograms of weight on her body now were really not enough. She took her sword and whip and walked out of the training room.
Passing through the hallway, she came to her father's study. As if on a pilgrimage, she knocked on the door, then pushed it in. Instead of the usual "come in", she heard "come back later", but pushed the door too quickly, and half of her body was already in the room. She caught a glimpse of an urgent letter resting on the desk (with three eagle feathers glued to the envelope), and then saw the eyes of her father and brother who could not hide their surprise.
"What's going on?" Nave frowned, pointing to the letter.
The elder brother did not answer, only looked at his father. Father groaned for a while and said, "The information sent by the Thundercloud Independent Regiment, a group of monsters of unknown origin have entered the hinterland of the continent, their combat effectiveness is too terrifying, and the lowest-level troops also have high-level strength, and a few are even comparable to super-level demonic beasts. The attack was sudden, and the countries were unable to defend themselves, and there were heavy casualties. King Bigbower proposed that the people be evacuated by boat to preserve the living forces. β
A bolt from the blue!
Nafu was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Just leave the entire continent to them, and we will retreat without a fight?" When we return, what will the continent look like? I can't! We must protect Saramonroe! β
"Childish. Knowing that you are invincible and still defending to the death, do you want us Salamonro people to destroy the country and extinct the species? Father's voice was not loud or high, but a deep anger fell on Nave. Nafu really didn't dare to refute her mouth, so she could only blush, silently clenching her fists.
The father didn't talk much to his daughter, walked around the desk, and walked to the door: "I want to meet Your Majesty, you are ready, once you need to evacuate, you must stabilize the order." Tell the people that we have the Via Rope Mountains as a moat, which can effectively block each other, so don't panic. β
Nave and her brother replied, "Yes! β
Soon, the order was issued that all citizens must evacuate the "gospel" continent. The two siblings begin to divide the work, with the elder brother going to the capital to pick up His Majesty, royalty, and ministers, while Nav maintains order in the port of Snow City. When the catastrophe came, the inferiority of the people broke out, some tried to monopolize the ships, some pushed away the old and weak, women and children, and some even dared to aim their weapons at the soldiers. It was useless for Nafu to tell the truth, so she simply suppressed it with iron and blood, beheaded seven people in a row, and completely stabilized the order.
If the cities on the mainland lose control, the respawn point will be invalidated, so adventurers will also want to get on the ship. They were placed in the last batch. Of course, there are also some sacrificial adventurers who are willing to fight until the last moment and voluntarily give up their precious ship positions.
Every minute and every second of waiting is an ordeal, especially when the day is the end of the day.
His Majesty, the eldest prince and the second prince were the first to arrive. Nave saluted His Majesty: "Your knight is here. But His Majesty just waved his hand, looking haggard, and he didn't even have the strength to answer. His Majesty, who has always been unfazed, is just an old man when he encounters such a major event.
After the eldest prince helped His Majesty onto the boat, he came down to look for Nave. He looked back at the Rope Mountains, and the first thing he said was, "I can't bear to ...... this land," and as soon as he said that, both he and Nave burst into tears.
"What do we do next?" Nave's throat choked, but she stiffened her face, held her head high, and said it forcefully.
"Those monsters...... The otherworldly creatures are too powerful, and both elven tribes have collapsed. It will take time for the people to evacuate, so," said the eldest prince, who looked at Nave with some reluctance, and confided cruel words: "Both the Grand Duke and General Zeno will stay and do their best to stop the monsters. It's up to them. β
There was a rumbling in Nave's head, and she couldn't listen to anything anymore. Dad's words rang out over and over again: "Childish." Knowing that he is invincible, he still has to defend ......" "naΓ―ve. Knowing that he is invincible to ......" and "naΓ―ve ......" what are you doing! You're naΓ―ve!
She glanced at her brother, who was counting the number of royal personnel, walked over, and said, "I want to stay too." β
The brother glanced at her and continued to look at the list, his face resolute: "Obedience is the duty of a soldier, Nev Chloe." Don't forget that you are the only crown princess in the family, and you will continue to accompany His Royal Highness the eldest prince. β
"What about you, Daddy? Aren't you the patriarch and the heir of the patriarch?! You're the strongest in the family! β
"It is precisely because we are the strongest that we must stay and face the suffering bravely. My uncles and I stayed with my father, and the blood and honor will be passed on to you and other young children. β
A pair of hands grabbed Nave's shoulders, but it was the eldest prince who was usually cautious in his words and deeds. He grabbed it very hard and hissed, "Nave, you are just a girl, and you still have a long life to live, are you willing to die like this?" For my sake, I beg you to stay! β
He said what was in his heart to himself, it should have been a beautiful scene. Nave's heart was both sweet and painful, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sorry, I can't-"
She was hit hard in the back of the head.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"That's it...... He conspired with my brother to knock me unconscious and take me away. As long as I wake up at sea, there is nothing to be done but resignation. So, I don't want to forgive him. I really want to die with my father and brother, so that they don't go to the underworld alone. β
At this point, Nave's face was full of tears. She controls her emotions well, and when she narrates, there is only flatness and no waves.
"I see, at first I heard you say it was so serious, I thought he wanted your body or carried you to find a woman." Scowl listened to the gossip and asked urgently, "And then?" β
"And then? Actually, I was pretending to be dizzy at the time. My brother and I played a lot when I was a kid, but when I grew up, I didn't have much physical contact, so he didn't know how resistant I was. I have [Iron Protective Aura] and [Iron Will], and the heavy blows that are enough to stun a normal person are useless to me. Nave pursed her lips and carefully considered the words: "I was carried to the cabin by the crew, and when I heard that no one was there, I was ready to get up and flee, and sneaked back to Isenger before the ship left." β
"And then?"
"And then, I died."
"What?!" Scowl almost didn't jump, as if in disbelief: "How can you say that death is death?" β
"Nonsense, I'm not dead, you can see me now?" Nafu plucked her head off and showed the incision: "One hit kills, precise sword skills." β
"Who killed you? Do you see it? β
"I saw it, but I ...... It's too weird. I can't name his identity. Until now, I wondered if I had a dream of being killed by that man, but it was the truth, he killed me. I fell into a deep sleep, and when I woke up again, I was summoned by His Majesty the June Sunshine. Since I am no longer human, I will dedicate my allegiance to Your Majesty. β
Skoll's eyes lit up, he held his pipe, and like a detective, he said something mysterious: "I smell conspiracy!" It's clear that someone doesn't want you alive! You represent the Chloe family's bond with the royal family, and as long as you die, the Grand Prince will not be able to master the 'Eagle Claw'! β
"Boring politics." Nave said, placing her head away. She stroked the family crest on her chest and muttered, "Maybe a despicable person like me shouldn't be in charge of the family." Well, what about Frankie? β
Skoll shrugged his shoulders and puffed out a smoke ring pleasantly: "It's impatient to listen to your story, probably going to exercise." β

Astant, a dilapidated mansion.
Upon hearing that Miko was coming, Perls immediately arrived. When he arrived, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the young man with a smile on his face. Miko-sama is still an old habit, and he likes to sit on the throne of shadows without sitting on a comfortable sofa, and he looks extraordinary; But he shows people in human form, but he seems a little relatable. He is both far and near, appearing in your field of vision, but you can't catch him.
"Pers, long time no see." Miko said, waving his hand.
"Long time no see." Perls waved his hand. And all the clergy behind him also waved their hands in unison with expressionless faces.
"No matter how you look at it, it's like a funny combination, you guys. Hey? Have they all made the cut? The Son of God noticed the six attendants and asked.
"Yes, the thirty-six clergy who originally joined the Twilight Sect have all been promoted and become high-level elites."
"Oh, yes, let's talk about it...... The first question, where is the underworld? β

(In order to attend the event hosted by the Assassination God Bar, I wrote a technical post today.) Suddenly, I realized that half of it was not finished, and it was already 3,500 words, so it would be good to be so diligent in writing novels. The value of this manuscript alone is more than 60 yuan, don't be unsuccessful! οΌ
(By the way, I owe one more this week!) οΌ
