I, Emperor Ursus!

The Vladimir snow field has not changed. No matter what happens here, it is always a white and clean piece, showing the beauty of nature and never changing.

Slowly walking out of the barracks with Frost Xing, Nicholas and Frost Xing did not speak for a while, and there were a certain number of forbidden soldiers and personal soldiers around them, but they did not disturb the tranquility of getting along with each other, the fierce snow wind Whistling in the air, occasionally set off the surrounding vegetation to sway, startling the snowbirds on the branches to soar, making a 'clack'-like cry, which is pleasant to the ear.

And the calm blue eyes like the ocean looked at the back of Nicholas in front of him. Frost Star was a little confused. He didn't know where Nicholas wanted to take her. It was obviously Nicholas who invited her out, but Nicholas Gula didn't say a word to her, and went on foot, without taking a car or riding a horse.

Although Frost Star doesn't care about this, no matter where Nicholas wants to take her, Frost Star knows that she has to go. In fact, she doesn't think that Nicholas will do anything harmful to Nicholas' personality. She was very relieved, and if she wanted to do something wrong, she could just find her in the middle of the night, and she couldn't refuse, so she could just accept Nicholas' disturbance, and maybe she had to cover her mouth to keep her mouth shut.

On the snowy ground, the scene where Nicholas gave up to avoid being stabbed by her original stone sword could not help reminiscing in Frost Star's mind again, making Frost Star withdraw her gaze immediately, and the flickering blue eyes permeated with complicated eyes , also behind this scene, Frost Star can always think of the scene of the death of countless people around him, which overlaps with the scene of Nicola's injury, and reappears in Frost Star's eyes.

Shuang Xing's hands were clenched tightly together for some reason, and the palms of the palms were slightly red, which set off some different colors in the girl's fair skin.

Just let go suddenly on the way, as if giving up on something, Frost star lowered his eyes and did nothing, just followed Nicholas silently, the cold ice and snow hit the girl's face and bright silver hair, and the girl's white body It seems to be integrated into one body, like an incarnation in the snow, uniquely beautiful and moving.

"...Frost Star, I heard that you can sing?"

Immediately, in the middle of walking, Nicholas suddenly spoke to Frost Star, and squinted at Frost Star indifferently, the usual gentle smile towards Frost Star was gone, replaced by his plainness to Frost Star, It is somewhat different from the previous attitude towards Frost Star.

"Return to Your Majesty, Frost Star knows a little bit. My father taught Frost Star some songs before." The girl quickly replied, not paying attention to this, her voice was very soft, just like the snow falling in the sky, insignificant.

"Could you sing me a song if it's convenient? There's still some distance from where we're going, and it's good to pass the time." Nicholas still asked, silently claiming his respectful title. Change, whether intentional or unintentional.

"Please forgive Frost Star's rudeness, Your Majesty, Frost Star's throat has been a little hoarse recently, and I'm afraid he can't sing beautiful songs for His Majesty to listen to."

The girl immediately refused. The reason was very euphemistic. She couldn't keep a line in her words, and she couldn't sing a beautiful song. That is to say, she could sing as long as Nicholas forced her to, but the effect was not satisfactory.

As for whether the throat is really a little hoarse or a fake hoarseness, only Shuangxing knows the truth, the real hoarseness is justifiable, and there is only one reason why the fake hoarseness can't be sung, that is, the girl no longer sings Her state of mind was as cold as the crystal white snow, and the temperature of the girl herself, extremely cold.

Even based on Frost Star's icy complexion, it is impossible to tell what Frost Star is thinking.

Behind the white snowflakes is water.

What constitutes the girl's cold heart is worth pondering.

"Is that so..." Nicholas murmured, his voice was calm, without any dissatisfaction.

"Then do you want me to sing you a song? To tell you the truth, in fact, to tell you the truth, I can sing too." Then, speaking softly, Shuang Xing was slightly taken aback by what Nicholas said. , not in a daze that Nicholas can sing, but in a daze that Nicholas can sing for her, an emperor, singing for a "criminal subject", the girl realizes what it means.

It was only because of this that Frost Star's heart became restless, and she didn't understand why Nicholas was so 'caring' for her.

What was it about her that attracted Nicholas, the emperor?

Froststar couldn't understand why, and hadn't since the time Nikolay kissed her.

An emperor, would he kiss a woman on a whim?

Frost Xing doesn't know what Chuxue thinks, but Frost Xing knows that what Nicholas said at the time must be a lie. The real purpose is to hide Chuxue and don't want Chuxue to think too much. It was just a disguise that Nicholas showed to Chuxue.

Hiding himself with the appearance of "innocence", in the end, it is unclear which sentence is true and which sentence is false.

Just like Tallulah, exactly the same.

The involuntary feeling in Shuangxing's heart intensified.

"Won't this...won't trouble Your Majesty?"

But without refusing, Frost Star was very smart and did not agree. On the contrary, when he asked Nicholas for his opinion, it was equivalent to Nicholas deciding whether to sing or not. It had nothing to do with her. With a 'distance', as a 'subject', even Nicholas' words and deeds are very close to her.

"I'll tell you in person, why do I find it troublesome, and I don't know how I sing, maybe it's ugly." Nicholas shook his head slightly helplessly, how could he not see Frost Star's little thoughts? , but not much anger.

I have long been accustomed to this way, the way of dialogue with unequal status, it was the same with Lindong, Truth, and Gumi, and it was the same with Frost Star. Nicholas didn't think it was an exception. Even Chuxue, he didn't know how much it cost. It took time to establish a more equal relationship. Chuxue could have a girlish temper towards him, and he could also rely on Chuxue to care for each other.

What this invisible sense of gap feels like, in this world, it is estimated that only those who gather the highest authority in a country understand.

Except Gou Yanwu.

"Then if His Majesty doesn't bother you, Shuangxing will listen attentively."

The girl lowered her head slightly and replied, besides that, she didn’t say much else. The conversation with Nicholas was still very respectful. On the contrary, she couldn’t be friendly with Nicholas, and she couldn’t treat Nicholas with a friendly attitude. , as a subject is like this, as a woman is naturally like this.

"Then, let me sing a song. If you find it unpleasant, don't laugh at me."

Then, speaking in a flat voice, and retracting his gaze, Nicholas turned his head to look in front of Baimang, and began to sing softly.

"вечный сон (songs of those who sleep forever), Они освободятся долго, они будут радоваться (they will be set free, they will rejoice), покрыть сукно (cover the dead with black cloth)."

The song he sang is a deep and old-style song, which is completely different from the rock music that is spread in the world of Terra today. In the snowy snow, the voice of the man can be said to be the singing of birds in the snow. The only distinctive sound flowed into Frost Star's eardrums together with the chilly wind, causing Frost Star to listen involuntarily.

"и наполняет меня (covers more than half of my soul), меня в пропасть заманивает горячей пастой (lures me into the abyss with wine as hot as fire), только слышно (hears murmurs to wake up)."

The man's voice fluctuated from high to low, the high and low voices were intermingled together to form an unusual song. Under the man's selfless singing, a wonderful artistic conception burst out in the man's song , sometimes sad, sometimes passionate, sometimes blazing like the sun, sometimes trough like a secluded spring, the listening experience given to the girl is no less than her favorite song, and even more than that.

"пыльные слова и звон (dusty words and jingle of incense sticks), Эти челноки на неизвестных следах (those footprints in the unknown), Я смотрю прямо (gazing straight at me)."

If you want to describe it, in the girl's heart, it is like a sincere, romantic, and spotless beautiful voice that travels through the world of mortals.

"Безумие раздувает его крылья (crazily fanning its wings), и наполняет меня половиной души (enveloping half my soul), меня в пропасть (lure me into the abyss with wine as hot as fire)."

Words can be deceiving.

But the girl knows that songs will never lie. A song that is truly memorable must have the same mood as it. A song sung without a mood is like a purely boring script. The same, but the sense of hearing is completely different.

Yes, Frost Star knew that it was not because of her hoarse throat that it was difficult for her to sing. It was because she could not sing to Nicholas, to the emperor of Ursus. It's boring, she doesn't want to sing, Nicholas doesn't necessarily want to hear it.

However, this emperor could sing such a heart-pounding song, which was something Shuangxing had never thought of.

At this moment, bright eyes stared straight at Nicholas's back, and Frost Star's pupils shone with a strange color.

"услышать бормотание (hear muttering to himself), трезвый (be awake), Мне нужны руки (I need both hands), принести ему победу (present victory to it)."

So, it ended with a raucous voice, and perhaps finished the song in a very short breath. Nicholas coughed a few times involuntarily, his face flushed a little, and he seemed a little uncomfortable.

"How about it? It's okay. I don't sing much. You can say it if it's a bit ugly. It's okay. I don't care."

After turning around to look at Frost Star, Nicholas preached with a slight smile. The smile was very faint, but the warmth revealed was real and warm.

"You sing very movingly, Your Majesty. Frost Star has never heard this song before. Frost Star has the courage to ask Your Majesty the source of this song."

The girl gave Nicholas a reply without hesitation, and praised Nicholas's singing from the bottom of her heart, her tone was suddenly much gentler, and she seemed to be less alienated from Nicholas.

"This song is my own creation."

But Nicholas' answer immediately made Shuangxing's slender eyebrows tremble.

"Your Majesty... made it yourself?"

Asked in a low voice, Frost Star was a little unbelievable. In the girl's impression, this song was honestly enough to be called one of the songs of nature. Assuming she was a musician, the girl might feel relieved, but creating this The person who sang the first song was an emperor, and the girl felt a strong sense of disobedience inexplicably.

"Well, I created it myself, I won't lie to you."

Although Frost Star didn't know that this song was the original song of 'Tomorrow's Ark' EP-Requiem, in some respects it is indeed self-created for the world of Terra. Changed to himself, neither blushing nor out of breath.

Anyway, there is no such song in the world of Terra, whoever sings it first will own this song, so there is no problem.

"Then Frost Star, what do you think... the song I sang? Tell me how you feel."

Then, he asked with a novel mentality, Nicholas inexplicably wanted to hear what one of the "protagonists" of this song would comment on this song. In a sense, this song is also his One of my favorite songs, I often listen to it repeatedly, indulging in the unique rhyme of this song.

"It's like a song commemorating the dead. Even though the song created by His Majesty sounds like a song of praise, in Frost Star's ears, after listening to it, I only feel a sense of sadness."

The replies like Shuangxing's came one after another. With her thin lips moving, the girl spoke out her thoughts softly.

"Your Majesty, are you remembering someone?"

At the end, he inadvertently asked Nicholas in the opposite direction. Frost Star's gaze and Nicholas' gaze collided involuntarily, making Nicholas who had heard it silent, and he didn't say a word for a long time. The pupils looked at each other, Nicholas suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Yes, it is indeed a song for the dead."

Then he decisively admitted this fact, slowly raised his arms, and Nicholas' palm gently stroked the girl's head, as if treating someone he cherished very gently, without saying a word, the girl slowly moved Letting Nicholas caress with her head down, she looks completely obedient, her beautiful face is expressionless, and she doesn't know what she is thinking, and she may also be used to Nicholas's behavior of touching her head.

"But now, I don't need to remember anymore."

Speaking of turning around, Nicholas didn't answer the question asked by Frost Star, but hid the answer in his heart.

Not to share with Frost Star, nor with anyone else.

That is in this world, and only he knows who this song commemorates and remembers.

It is an answer that cannot be said, and it is also an answer that girls do not need to know.

It is enough for him to know the 'tragedy' that should have happened.

"...Frost Star, can you talk to me, Tallulah, what kind of person are you? I want to know more about Tallulah. It's okay for you to be straightforward, I won't mind what you say." Then, continue Walking forward, facing Frost Star with his back, Nicholas talked about the rare topic of Tallulah.

"I want to tell Your Majesty, after His Majesty's explanation, Frost Star's impression of Tallulah has changed, but I have to admit that before, in Frost Star's eyes, Tallulah was a very attractive person." The girl felt Blinking his eyes unexpectedly, he didn't expect that Nicholas would ask about Tallulah, and he answered decisively with his cherry lips twitching.

"At first, when she came to this snow field, she had nothing but a sword, but she reached out to my father and me almost innocently and said that she could lead us out of the snow field. Under her leadership, many infected people who were abused because of her Rescued, her existence is equivalent to the fire in the heart of every infected person, and she firmly believes that under this torch, the infected person can find a way out and a bright future."

Praising Tallulah without concealment, he was speaking frankly according to Nicholas' request, and it was his own truth. Maybe it was a despicable act for Tallulah to use the integration movement to achieve his goals, but Tallulah Frost Star will never forget the 'gong' of pulling, let alone forget it.

"At the beginning, she was a very gentle and kind person. She would step forward to comfort a child crying, and hug an old man's heartbreak. She openly stated that her ambition was to put the world of Terra in dire straits. Saved all the infected and baptized the injustice of this world, her personal opinion also resonated with many infected people, and she was willing to believe that Tallulah could lead the infected people forward."

"Just after passing through a village, Tallulah changed..."

And speaking of this, Shuang Xing's voice suddenly became much softer.

"She seemed to become a person, she was reticent. When she returned to the integration movement, she condoned the extreme radicals in the integration movement, and sat and watched the integration movement's ideas fall into conflict. If she was an actor, her acting , perhaps more true than anyone else, has lied to me, my father, and everyone in the integration movement, and is leading the infected to her revenge."

The vocal cords became deeper and heavier. Perhaps until now, Frost Star was still astonished by the fact that Tallulah used the integration movement, and couldn't let go of Tallulah's betrayal of the integration movement. Everything before was false. The only thing left in the knowledge is hypocrisy.

"yes…"

In return, Nicholas murmured without saying much, and his steps were always steady, as if there was no fluctuation in the Tallulah told by Frost Star, and the snow covered with snowflakes left the two different in size. The footprints can be regarded as a glimmer of life for living things in the lonely snow.

After walking for a long time, finally, Nicholas and Frost Star arrived at the destination, where the former led the latter.

But unlike the calm Nicholas beside him, when he saw the place he came to, Shuang Xing subconsciously opened his eyes wide, and his graceful body trembled inadvertently, looking at the black land under his feet. The land produced extreme repulsion, impacting Frost Star's heart.

"Let's go... let's go in."

Because at this moment, what is imprinted in Shuangxing's eyes is a mine on the Vladimir Snowfield, a mine that is almost forgotten, but Shuangxing will never forget it in his life, it is impossible to forget it.

"Go in...let's pay homage to those people, you probably think about it too, Frost Star."

It is the mine where the girl stayed when she was young, the mine where she stayed before she was rescued by the patriots. Most of the people she knew when she was a girl died in this mine, as did the girl's parents, grandmother, and childhood partners. Not a single one was left behind.

Died in this place where there is nothing, died meaninglessly, slaughtered by the Ursus army, abused by the Ursus army.

Frost Star's silver teeth were biting together so tightly that even traces of gorgeous blood had already been bitten out from the gums, slowly leaving outside the corners of the dark red lips, ferocious blood streaks in Frost Star's light blue eyes Emerging, invisibly highlighting Shuangxing's current state of mind, his heart is in pain like being pierced by a sharp knife, tormenting Shuangxing's body and mind.

But he didn't stop, and quickly wiped the blood on his lower lip to avoid being seen by Nicholas. Frost Star followed Nicholas into the mine with frosty indifference, and walked into the mine under the leadership of Nicholas. She loathed, hated and hadn't stepped into a place for more than ten years.

Everything around did not change much in the girl's vision, the sinful barbed wire that trapped everyone in the mine, the 'cave' where the employees of the mine slept together, and the dreaded rough stone , everything is so familiar, but relatively unfamiliar to the girl, the huge mine is dead silent except for the guards and guards who follow.

Then, walking step by step, leading to the depths of the mine, Nicholas came to the place he wanted to come to, and it was also the place he wanted the girl to come to.

It's a cemetery, dumbfounded and stunned, the girl saw it right, the desolate snow wind whispered lonely, singing the old nursery rhyme to mourn the dead who slept here, each of the stone tablets standing here is very simple, Not even a photo or a name, but they also represent the fact that countless people died here, died in this mine, and were bullied to death.

Girl, how can I forget?
