[Mecha] Queen of 12 Songs

Walking out of the room, Phil looked tired. He had heard about his friend before, but at that time he was busy with family affairs and didn't have the energy to take care of such things.It wasn't until just now, when Ella expressed the pain that Rick had been deeply buried in his heart, that he realized how negligent he was as a friend.

"I don't think Her Royal Highness knows what happened back then, and even if she knew, she wouldn't be able to tell others." Phil finally sensed something was wrong. He stared at the girl in front of him for a long time, and said slowly, "Then Ella, where did you know all this, and what is the mood of the person who told you all this?"

Ella moved her lips, and looked directly into Phil's eyes without hesitation: "Do you think there is anyone else who can tell me all this besides the person involved at the time?"

Phil was shocked, Rick's mother was still alive?No, if he was still alive, why didn't he come back after giving birth to Rick?

Ella can never forget that when she saw the woman who was too old to connect her with Rick's mother, the rapid aging made it impossible to find the heroic appearance of the year, and only the faintly visible outline could vaguely confirm the person in front of her identity of.

Taking a deep breath, Ella glanced at Phil: "There are some things I can't say. As Rick's friend, you should be more responsible for these aspects. And I... am not qualified to comment on anything, not even accusations." .”

Please take good care of Rick's child for me, Miss Ophelia.

Ella nodded with a complicated expression, but she knew better than anyone else that she couldn't fulfill the wish of the dying person.Such expectant eyes eventually made her lie, whether it was a white lie or not, Ella could not find peace in her heart.She was subconsciously escaping. If Rick hadn't accused her first, she wouldn't have lost her mind and peeled off other people's wounds abruptly.

"Ella."

Phil suddenly made a sound, stopping Ella from leaving.

"I know what kind of identity you are in this country, and I also understand that you will never bear less than us. However, sometimes you should find someone to share all this, instead of bearing things that you should not bear alone. of."

With her hands clenched by her side, Ella's eyes flashed unknown emotions, but she calmed down the moment she turned around, and her eyes were calm.

"Phil, maybe in your eyes I'm just a little girl who can't grow up in your eyes. I'm sorry for what happened to Rick just now. This is my immaturity. But... Even so, I will soon step on the Going to the battlefield is an indisputable fact." Facing Phil's slowly widening eyes, Ella shrugged, "Don't be surprised or worried, I've already had this awareness since I chose this path."

"At this moment, I am still Ella in your eyes, but soon...maybe I will feel that I am a stranger. All of this...maybe seems unreasonable," Ella slightly raised her hand and spread her palms, " But it’s not that difficult to accept, the empire not only allowed me to realize my dream, but also exceeded my expectations. Just for this, I am willing to bear everything that does not belong to my age..."

Seeing the figure of Ella going away, Phil sighed slightly.Ofelia's true identity, the number of people who really know it is no more than two digits.Most of the people who teach Ophelia are dealing with Ella who has already dressed up as Ophelia, without knowing what she really looks like.He has always known that Ella is strong and good at hiding herself, and she has indeed done a good job, and she has successfully divided herself into two parts.

Shaking his head, as Ella said, what he should care about now is Rick.As for Ella's affairs, no one can really help except herself.

"Hi, is this Miss Laika?"

Ella finally raised her head that had been hanging down, and looked at the uninvited guest standing at her door, she frowned slightly: "I am, are you?"

The man put his legs together and gave a military salute. Ella hesitated whether to return the salute, and nodded and smiled under the calm eyes of the other party.She is not a soldier, and she is not qualified to salute due to emotion or reason.

But why did the young soldier salute her?Facing the slightly smiling eyes, Ella's doubts grew even more.Generally speaking, there are only two situations where someone will salute Ella, one is respect for her earl's daughter, she is a nobleman, and she is a famous family; the other is for Ophelia .So what reason did the young man in front of her do this, which made her puzzled.

Soon, she got the answer from the lips of the other party, and the mouth that closed and opened undoubtedly said the word Ophelia.After a little panic, Ella calmed down and led the man into the room.After making sure that no one could hear their call, he signaled the young soldier to speak.

"I'm here to convey the highest order from Her Royal Highness Christina - the mecha competition in a week's time will be unfavorable to the Ashe Empire. I hope that Ella, the daughter of the Earl of the Empire's Laika, can find the inner thief in the competition and bring it back to her." eradicate!"

As the order was spit out word by word, Ella felt the urgency of time for the first time.Fortunately, it was still within the range that Ella could accept, and she was not dissatisfied with the princess's order not keeping her promise.No matter how close you are to the princess, the other party is always the monarch, and she is just a courtier, and the courtier has no right to question or refuse.

"I understand, and I will try my best to find out what the problem is. Similarly, I hope that the princess can give me permission to enter and leave the players' rooms at will during the mecha competition. I believe that special periods should be treated specially."

The soldier's answer to Ayla made Ayla very satisfied. Since he came here, he fully represented Her Royal Highness.And Ella's request was within reason, and he had no reason to refuse.

In the end, Ella briefly asked about the princess's current situation, and at the same time told the princess about her own situation. Of course, she didn't say a word about Rick.Although the princess is a monarch, Rick is a man after all, and he doesn't want more people to know about such things that hurt their self-esteem.

After sending the soldier away, Ella connected to the communicator with a worried face, and was surprised to see Rick who had recovered, but was speechless for a while.Rick looked at her jokingly: "Why, are you so upset when you see me? Should I stay away and never ask Miss Ella about your affairs, so that you will show normal emotions?"

"I'm sorry." Ella said, she couldn't help smiling when she saw Rick accepting her apology frankly, "It won't happen in the future."

Rick snorted twice: "In the future? If you dare to talk about the future, I will beat you to death, believe it or not?!" As he spoke, he waved his fist in protest.

Ella laughed twice, remembering the news that Christina had sent someone to bring, she put away her smile and looked at Rick at the other end seriously.And Phil, who moved his head closer: "I have some bad news to tell you."

Phil glanced at Rick, who was still angry, and could only ask for him, "What is it?"

Ella's eyes lingered between the two for a long time before she said slowly, "I've decided to participate in... the mech competition in a week's time."

The expression on Rick's face was unpredictable, and finally he uttered a few words with a cold expression: "You are really crazy."

"Maybe." Ella smiled wryly. The princess' order was absolute and extremely confidential. Even the two people in front of her could not tell the truth to them.The so-called secret mission, the less people know about it, the better.

At that moment, not only Rick, but even Phil's face turned ugly.Rick responded directly by cutting off contact, leaving Ella staring blankly at the darkened screen.

Rick looked annoyed, but as it stood, she really didn't have the time or the obligation to explain anything.On the other hand, Her Royal Highness, Ella was very worried.
