The red cherry tree of Sope

?That night, everything was still the same, the queen mother Eowyn was sitting on the bedside telling little Perona a bedtime story, when her father came in.Little Perona immediately jumped out of bed and flew into the arms of his father.

"Oh! My little princess, haven't you slept yet?" Clifford Paladin picked up Perona and kissed her gently on the forehead.

"Father tells Perona a story, and Perona sleeps!"

Palatine looked helplessly at his wife Éowyn.

"Your Majesty, just tell her. You are so busy with state affairs that you seldom play with her." Eowyn came over and said softly.

"Let's make a short one, my little princess, then let's tell the story of the penguin!" Paladin gently put Perona back on the bed and covered her with the quilt.

"Once upon a time there was a princess named Perona. Her father was a penguin, because a wicked witch cursed him. It was not convenient for him, because he wanted to hold the little princess, but the penguin couldn't. Because his Wings like herring."

"Herring has no wings!" Perona asked curiously.

Éowyn also looked at Paladin curiously, wanting to see how he explained it.

"It's his wings like herrings," explained Palatine.

Perona nudged her mouth angrily, feeling that such an explanation was too far-fetched.

"To make matters worse, the witch exiled him to the South Pole. It was a long way back if he couldn't fly. But when he jumped into the water and dived in, he found that he could swim very fast in the water. It was long time for lunch." In the Persian Sea, I changed direction again at Kelapun, and asked the swan about the route back to Skenazawa. I swam across the holy river and jumped out of the water outlet, which surprised my mother and Mrs. Whitaker who were cooking. The girl ran to the kitchen when she heard the noise, and she cleaned him, fed him, and kissed him. You know what he became when you kissed him?" Palatine looked at Perona, expecting her to give Have an answer yourself.

"A handsome prince!" Perona said happily.

"A short-tailed albatross."

"Oh..." Perona said a little disappointed.

"But the wings are big enough to hug Dad's little daughter tightly!" After speaking, he opened his arms and embraced Perona in his arms.Made Perona laugh.

"Okay~~ My little princess is going to sleep!" Éowyn covered her with the quilt, turned off the lights and walked out.

When they reached the door, Éowyn asked softly, "Why is it an albatross with a short tail?"

Paladin hugged Éowyn and kissed her affectionately: "Because he will become a handsome prince only when his mother kisses him!"

"Damn!" Éowyn lightly slapped Paladin on the shoulder.

They came together because of a common ideal, fell in love with each other, and finally gave birth to their common baby-Perona.As time goes by, no matter when, they want Perona to grow up in a healthy environment and work hard for it.

Not long after the Paladins lay down, a little man crept up and hugged Éowyn.

"What's the matter? My little princess?" Éowyn asked softly, taking his hands around her neck.

"I had a nightmare just now... Can I sleep with the Queen Mother and the King Father tonight?" With tears in her eyes, she said delicately.

"Haha~~ Of course you can!" Paladin wiped away tears for her, and said softly: "Perona will sleep in the middle tonight, and let Father and Queen Mother protect you later!"

For some reason, Perona didn't sleep well that night.

In the middle of the night, it was raining heavily outside, and a knock on the door woke the three of them up.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The people outside the door beat on the carved sandalwood door anxiously.

Paladin hurriedly got up, put on his pajamas, and went out.

"What happened?"

"Your Majesty, it's not good!" Perona recognized the voice. The person who came was Prime Minister Elrond. This old man's family has been serving the royal family since hundreds of years ago and has always been loyal.Perona respected and feared him because he was always catching her and telling her the arcane principles of statecraft.

"Felix has united with several powerful nobles to rebel! 10,000+ troops are gathering outside the palace, and several generals who have control over the army have been bought by them..." the old man explained in a trembling voice Scary fact.

"Aristocrat Felix has always been very supportive of reforms! He took the lead in implementing several decrees issued before... It has been said that he has recently gotten close to several nobles who have always been opposed to reforms. Bad intentions... I didn't expect it to be so fast!"

"Wolf ambition...Your Majesty!" The old man shook his head and said, "Just now, the Military Intelligence Department reported that Felix had colluded with the Qila Kingdom as early as three years ago. It's a trick to turn the tiger away from the mountain!"

"If you call Elrond back now, it will take at least one day if you travel day and night..." Paladin clenched his fists and slammed the table hard. "hateful!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"Send a message to Kurvis and order him to come back immediately!"

"Yes!"

"How many of us are there now?"

"[-]... There are still many old, weak, sick and disabled." The old man said desperately.

"Gather these troops immediately, and they must not be allowed to enter the castle! We must fight hard until Kurvis' troops come back to rescue!"

"Yes!" The old man hurried down to deploy.

"What's wrong?" Eowyn asked as he stepped out.

"Felix is ​​rebelling," Paladin said as he changed his clothes.

"..." Éowyn was so surprised that he didn't know what to say for a while.

"I had a clue before, but I didn't expect it to be at this time... For the happiness of you and Perona, I must fight!" Paladin said firmly, holding Éowyn's shoulders.

"Please be careful, Perona and I are here waiting for you to come back." After dressing her husband in the battle robe, Éowyn reluctantly sent him out.

"Don't worry, I'll be back! You and Perona get ready first!" After speaking, she left without looking back. ?
