Solandale was about the same age as the boy, and they were completely the same generation, so there was no sense of estrangement in getting along, and she said kindly, "I don't know your name yet." My name is Solandale Van Dogoland, what's your name? ”

"Of course, Your Highness, of course I know who you are." After the boy finished eating the bread, he quickly wiped it on the snow and wiped the crumbs off his hands, and then he stretched out his hand to Solandale and said respectfully, "My name is Joshua Fury, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Fury—" Solandale shook hands with Joshua and tilted his head to muttering his last name, "If I'm not mistaken, there's a big nobleman in the royal city whose surname is Fury..."

Joshua nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Your Highness, my father said before that he had the honor of attending your birthday party. ”

"Oh~ I remember, there is such a thing, his gift is a very beautiful jewel tiara." Solandale blinked and asked curiously, "It's strange to say this, why did you come to serve in the Frozen Fortress when you are so young and from a noble background?" With your family background, whether you are in business, politics, or the military, you should be able to have smooth sailing, right? ”

For some reason, Joshua looked a little embarrassed after hearing this, and touched the back of his head embarrassedly: "Does Your Highness want to hear my story..."

"Of course." Solandale was intrigued by this noble-born teenager who served on the harsh frontier.

Joshua sighed lightly, looked up at the stars at night, and said quietly: "My family background is indeed very good, but I am the youngest child in the family, there are many older brothers and sisters, each of them is very good, some are businessmen with a lot of money, some are very famous in the political circles, and they have all become big shots, and my parents will be full of pride every time they mention them." ”

"But I've never done anything to make my parents proud, I haven't been good at reading since I was a child, I'm not good at dealing with people, I can't do anything my parents tell me, and I can't compare with my brothers and sisters... Every time I am in front of them, I bring my own. ”

Solandale smiled slightly and comforted: "You don't have to compare with your brothers and sisters, you are you, there is only one Joshua Fury in this world, the important thing is not who you can compare, but what kind of person you want to be, and whether you do it in the end, this is the most important thing." ”

"That's right! I thought so too! Joshua was intrigued by Solandale, and for a moment his mouth was quick, and blurted out something in his heart, "I would love to be like Prince Bolton!" ”

As soon as Joshua finished speaking, he suddenly found that there was ambiguity in his words, if he became the "Prince of Bolton", wouldn't it mean that the Fury family would replace the Dogurand family and become the royal family?

After Joshua reacted, he covered his mouth in horror and trembled when he spoke: "Hug... I'm sorry... I have no intention of disobedience, please forgive your sins! ”

Solandale sneered and said playfully: "It's okay, except for you, me, and the gods, our conversation won't be heard by a fourth person~ Speaking of which, why do you want to be like my brother?" ”

Joshua breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "When I was very young, I heard that Prince Bolton guarded the frontier for His Majesty the King at a young age, and I was thinking at that time, how brave it is that His Royal Highness can leave behind the life of fine clothes and food in the palace and fight with the soldiers on the frontier to protect his family and country." ”

"Studying, doing business, engaging in politics... It all requires talent, and I don't have that talent. But bravery is not a talent, but a quality that can be fought for by oneself, and I want to be a brave man, like Prince Bolton! So when I became an adult, I chose to leave my family, join the army, and applied to come to the Frozen Fortress, hoping to be like Prince Bolton and guard the kingdom for the country! ”

Speaking of this, Joshua was obviously deflated, and hung his head and said gloomily, "But I didn't find out until now... I can't even be a brave person. ”

"Originally, I thought that when the remnants of the Six Kings invaded the frontier, I would be like the heroes in the history books, no matter how powerful the enemy is, I can fight them until the last moment, even if I die, I will die on the battlefield."

"However, yesterday, when I was on the mission to break the queen, as soon as I saw those fierce-looking barbarians, my legs trembled with fright, my mind was blank, and I couldn't even hold the knife and shield. In the end, the centurion could only tell me to switch into a light crossbow and hide behind to provide a little bit of support to everyone. ”

"It's also when you retreat... As soon as I heard the horn and saw that everyone was running for their lives, I was so nervous that I forgot the road and lost myself in the tunnel several times. I was even more frightened when I was crushed by the ruins... I'm sorry, Your Highness, but you laughed at me... I was scared... I was so scared that I peed my pants..."

"Why are you being laughed at? Nothing funny. Solandale leaned into Joshua's ear and whispered, "Tell you secretly, don't spread the word - when I first took over the command, I was so nervous that I vomited and cried in the bathroom." ”

Joshua was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth: "Really? I see you're very calm when you're in command! ”

"Gee, it was all forced under pressure." Solandale raised her head, looked at the starry sky and said, "Fear is an emotion that every normal person will have, if a person is not afraid, then he is not a person, but a god-like existence." ”

"There is no shame in being afraid, what matters is how to overcome it. For example, when I was in command, I thought that if I retreated here and made a mistake, not only would I die, but everyone would be implicated by me. ”

"Everyone gave me command because they trusted me and were willing to entrust their lives to me, and I had to take responsibility for it. When you have such a pillar in your heart, you are naturally not afraid of anything. ”

Joshua nodded thoughtfully: "So, I'm missing a pillar, or faith... I can't stand up in a critical moment... But what is my belief? ”

Solandale smiled, shook his head and said, "I can't answer this question, every brave person has their own beliefs, and everyone's beliefs are different. Sometimes, we may never know what our beliefs are, and only in the moment of our choice will that belief burst out in our hearts to see ourselves clearly. ”

Joshua nodded slightly, his eyes looking at the side of Solandelle's face, consciously or unconsciously, and fell into some kind of contemplation.

Solandale put the unicorn's tail on Joshua and stood up patting the snow on his pants: "You can rest here first, and I'll inspect the camp." The tribal warriors were in hot pursuit, and when everyone was almost rested, we hurried out. ”
