Villainous princesses don't die in royal battles

"Anno..."

"what happened?"

"If you still want to see..."

Delphis opened her lips and paused for a while to make a sound.

"There are more paintings on the fifth floor."

Sensing the imperceptible awkwardness and anticipation in Delphis' tone, An Nuo bent her lips, and her voice was a little more surprised.

"Then thank you Miss Delphis~"

Delphis replied: "You don't need to thank me."

It's just a transaction. An Nuo gave her a lot of convenience. She can turn the money that can't be spent into something that can be used. As a seller, she should also show a certain degree of sincerity, so that the other party can freely choose what they want more. of paintings.

Leaving the room with the lamp in hand, the two of them walked up the spiral staircase in the castle one after the other. The wick in Delphis' hand flickered on and off, and the yellowish light beam stretched the figures of the two sisters extremely long.

Hearing the clacking sound of the heels of the blond Lolita's feet on the floor tiles, Elena once again set her eyes on the back of her half-sister. Delphis was slender and not tall. She has a typical loli body shape, her long blond hair as soft as ears of rice hangs over a pure white silk nightgown, and the suspender style of the nightgown reveals the girl's round and clean shoulders, and her snow-white skin is as white as jade under the light.

Delphis was really much thinner than she imagined.

Elena was thinking as she walked. According to Catherine's investigation, Kantor never cut back on the daily diet of this illegitimate daughter. Could it be that she is too picky about food, so she has not grown taller?

Thinking of the tall and tough Emperor Cantor, and looking at Delphis in front of her, Elena frowned slightly, not knowing what it was like in her heart.

The man has assumed all the responsibilities of a father towards her, but he treats his own daughter in an absolutely ruthless manner. Comparing the two, it is not difficult to understand that when Delphis grows up, Why do you have extreme hatred for Princess Eileen who was most favored by the late emperor.

Annuo Fercis, Elena Ovecia, if Delphis knew in advance that these two identities were actually the same person, the consequences would be disastrous.

After a while, Delphis took Anno to the room where she put the paintings, which was the circular exhibition hall on the fifth floor of the castle.

Before Cantor succeeded to the throne, Delphis’ grandfather, the last emperor of the Calliste Empire, often invited noble lords to enjoy afternoon tea in the castle and watch dramas performed by the folk theater troupe until his death. The ancient castle gradually fell into disrepair, and with the passage of time, it became a luxurious cage for Delphis to live in now.

"These...are all my paintings..."

Standing in front of the dim corridor, Delphis turned around and exposed the walls for displaying canvases on both sides for Anuo to see.

Following a soft and low-pitched incantation, the lights embedded on the wall were re-ignited, and An Nuo moved his long legs closer to the canvas to look at them one by one. The rich colors on the surface of the oil painting and the bright fires burning were reflected in his clear blue eyes.

These hanging paintings should be the early works of Delphis. The style is similar to the one she saw just now, with a strong personal touch. author's hand.

As the footsteps went deeper into the corridor, Delphise's painting skills also matured at a speed visible to the naked eye. An Nuo looked at several pictures in a row, and her slender eyelashes gradually lowered.

Most of these paintings are architectural or landscape paintings. In addition to imitating the castle, Delphise also painted many scenes, such as closed gardens, dilapidated streets, town ruins and dilapidated clock tower squares at dusk.

This kind of painting has a distinctive feature, that is, Delphis has had a cold brushwork since the beginning of creation. She can use extremely smooth and neat lines to outline messy and dilapidated pictures, with desolation and desolation as the main tone, bringing Give the audience a great artistic impact.

"Miss Delphis, have you seen these scenes?"

An Nuo stretched out his hand to touch the canvas, but his pale and slender jade fingers stopped suddenly when they were only four or five centimeters away from the cloth, silently lowered his arms, and retracted them to his sides.

"No." Delphis replied in a low voice.

An Nuo's cherry lips parted slightly when he heard this: "Then you drew them by imagination?"

Human imagination is based on the cognition of the material world. No one can create something that does not exist in reality out of thin air. In other words, as long as a certain scene can be described, there must be something in the imagination of the imaginer. Similar things that can be borrowed and mended.

Delphis is a down-to-earth house girl, and An Nuo is very curious about where her materials are sourced from.

"Yes." Delphis nodded and continued.

"Some of them were read in books, and some of them were thought of by me."

She has never seen ruins, never seen a dry river, and even the streets with people coming and going have become a blurred background in her childhood memories.

"...It's a very simple thing." Delphis added.

Although she has not personally experienced many things, she has also spent long and lonely years alone in the room. She knows what it feels like to wipe off the layer of dust on the hands of a clock with her fingers, and she has even witnessed a flower grow from The whole process from germination to decay.

In the hands of the painter, desolation and death are a kind of concrete image. As long as she holds the pen, Delphis knows how to accurately depict it. The deep sense of loneliness is hidden between the pen and the dye. go hand in hand.

An Nuo looked at the girl's crystal clear green pupils, and after a long time, he looked away and continued to look at the paintings in the corridor.

She probably understood Delphis' mental state, and the confinement life of the past few years had already penetrated into every aspect of the future emperor.

While rejoicing that she did not blindly follow the plot and give up contact with Delphis, Elena was thinking on the other hand whether she was still too late.

Can she really save this heart that is about to wither completely?

Continuing to walk towards the interior of the corridor, it came to the end in a short while. An Nuo didn't see any portraits of people along the way, so he couldn't help but speak with some doubts.

"Hasn't Miss Delvis painted portraits or figures?"

After hearing this, Delphis suddenly thought of something, complex emotions welled up in her eyes, she spoke slowly for a long time.

"I'm not very used to drawing characters, so I didn't put them here."

The paintings on the fifth floor are all acceptable to Delphis in her heart. The early training paintings and some works that she does not want to be seen by anyone are placed under the bed in the bedroom, accompanied by dust and dust.

An Nuo looked at Delphis a few more times after hearing the words, the latter's eyes were slightly cold, without any fluctuations, and it was impossible to judge whether she was lying or not from the tone of her voice.

In the end, An Nuo picked two paintings that looked pretty good. One depicting the dilapidated clock tower was sold for [-] gold coins, and the other Delphis's early work was sold for [-] gold coins.

"Should Miss Anno take it now, or..."

"Let's put it here first. According to the previously negotiated conditions, every time I pay for a painting, I will take away the corresponding one."

Back in the room, Anuowen said in a warm voice: "Go and write what you want first, the sooner you give it to me, the better, this will also make it easier for the servants to prepare quickly."

Delphis said hello, then went to the next room, sat at the desk, picked up a pen and paper, and began to seriously think about what she needed.

53 gold coins is definitely a huge sum of money, enough for her to use for several years.

The first is various types of dyes. Recently, the blue-gray paint is almost used up and needs to be replenished immediately. In addition to dyes, she can also buy better pens and professional drawing paper that are more suitable for painting.

The tip of the pen wrote a few lines of elegant and neat words on the paper. Delphis thought for a moment, and added a few lines of brushes and easels that she had never thought of before.

Looking at the neatly written transaction list in front of her, Delphis suddenly had an illusion that this thin piece of paper that recorded her needs was like a wish list given to Old Man Shengguang during the Holy Light Festival in the Callist Empire. It records every child's beautiful pursuit for the future.

Delphis knew that there was no so-called old man Shengguang in the world, and that it was the parents who loved them that really fulfilled the wishes of the children, not a fabricated virtual image.

Annuo... old man Shengguang... no matter how you think about it, it's too bad.

Thinking of the other party and the two completely different images in the story, Delphis slightly raised the corners of her lips, showing a smile that she hadn't even noticed, and hadn't shown for many years.

The tip of the pen stuck to the paper and dropped a few drops of ink. Delphis looked at the paper in front of her, quickly cleared up the weird thoughts in her mind, and fell into deep thought again.

Other than these... She doesn't seem to have anything else she wants...

Books, tools related to painting, she has all of these, and the rest Delphis can't use or think of.

Since you don't need it for now, let's talk about it next time.

The girl put down her pen, pushed open the bedroom door, walked slowly to the next room, and handed the things to An Nuo.

Unknowingly, Delphis already has a subconscious cognition, that is, no matter what happens, An Nuo will always stay here.

After receiving Delphis' transaction list, An Nuo read it carefully, and said softly, "Are you sure you want to buy these first?"

"Yeah." Delphis nodded.

So much is enough.

Seeing that the girl had confirmed the needs, An Nuo solemnly put the list into the bag. When the button was unbuttoned, the dark green potion bottle collided with the metal box and made a crisp sound.

An Nuo thought about taking out the metal box, and asked Delphis softly.

"Would you like something to eat?"

Although it is not good to eat supper at night and it is easy to gain weight, but Delphi is so thin, it doesn't hurt to eat a little.

An Nuo's current dinner is this one at night, and she doesn't worry about her weight, but she doesn't know that Delphis also doesn't eat breakfast now.

The blond loli froze for a moment when she heard the words, and then she saw An Nuo open the metal box, a faint smell of wheat permeated the air, Delphis squinted her eyes, and inside the box were a few pieces of wheat cake and five or six pieces Good looking jerky.

Since the biological clock was changed, Delphis would be very hungry at night, but no one could bring her a supper, so she could only stay up until dawn.

Seeing that Delphis didn't refuse immediately, An Nuo quickly made a decision in his heart, lifted the lunch box, and handed it to the other party.

Seeing that Delphis cautiously did not reach out her hand, An Nuo first took a piece of dried meat and put it to her lips, bit her teeth lightly, and ate a piece symbolically.

"Just to celebrate the unexpected joy I got today, Miss Delvis should eat some too."

Looking at the woman's bright green eyes that were as clear as jade, Delphis subconsciously put her hands on her stomach, and she could feel her stomach protesting against her through a layer of silk.

If you just eat one piece... it shouldn't be a big deal... Delphis stared at the wheat cakes and jerky in the box in a daze.

And Anno said it's a celebration... nothing to do with anything else...

After hesitating for a moment, Delphis stretched out the catkin and took a piece very carefully.

In the old castle, she had never eaten this kind of dried meat slices. At first glance, she felt fresh. She put it in the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully for a while. Then she slowly approached her cherry lips and poked out her pink and fragrant tongue. .

The next second, Delphis noticed that An Nuo's gaze had been on her cheek, her heart trembled suddenly, she quickly closed her lips, and put the jerky in her mouth.

Seeing this, An Nuo smiled, and said softly, "Tell me how it tastes after eating."

It was the first time seeing Delphis eat, and An Nuo felt that the loli tyrant's eating was quite cute.

For some reason, she thought of Testia, who was supposed to be asleep at the moment. The latter dined with her for the first time, and her nervous and shy appearance was still fresh in Elena's memory.

After a while, Delphis stopped chewing and replied in a low voice, "It's delicious."

Maybe it was just because she was just hungry, or for some other reason that she didn't even know, Delphis felt that the food she ate just now was unexpectedly delicious, even surpassing the usual palace meals.

Seeing Delphis eat the food she gave whole, An Nuo also had a subtle emotion in his heart.

Being able to accept food offered by others and eat it face to face is an act of trust that let go of vigilance, which also means that the relationship between Delphis and her has a deeper breakthrough, at least in the other party's subconscious, she Not a stranger, but a relatively friendly existence.

"Jerky is a specialty sent by my friend from my hometown. It tastes really good."

While speaking, An Nuo took out a piece of wheat cake from the box, and gently handed it to Delphi.

"This is also good, try it."

After being fed by An Nuo once, Delphis felt as if some invisible shackles were suddenly broken. She looked at the thing in the woman's hand, paused for a few seconds and chose to take it.

The wheat cakes were a little dry at the beginning, but they felt very sticky when biting. Delphis chewed carefully, and soon realized a little sweetness hidden between her tongue and teeth.

Jerky may not be very filling, but this wheat cake made of pure wheat is definitely the first choice to fill your stomach. As soon as Delphis finished eating a piece, she felt that she was not so hungry, and her stomach felt more comfortable.

"Thank you Miss An Nuo for the hospitality..."

After eating, Delphis had no reason to stay in Annuo's room, and returned to her bedroom after a simple greeting.

"Good night."

"Good night, Miss Delvis."

Hearing An Nuo's gentle voice, Delphis walked into the room, closed the door, and sat down on the bed lightly.

Rhine had already fallen asleep, huddled into an orange ball in the cat's litter box, didn't respond to anyone passing by, and continued to sleep soundly, Delphis looked at the cat in the corner, her eyes gradually fascinated.

Her work has been appreciated by An Nuo, and she can also exchange for new painting tools by bartering. This deal is worthless for her, and it is much better than that black-hearted maid.

The evening breeze caressed her, and the slight sweetness of the wheat cake she just ate remained on the tip of her tongue. Delphis bit her lip, and under the smooth silk skirt, two delicate white ankles leaned gently together.

It was supposed to be a very happy night, but she couldn't feel happy no matter what.

This is a special product sent by my friend from my hometown...

Repeating An Nuo's words back and forth in her heart, Delphisi frowned unconsciously, pressed her palms against the bed sheet, and twisted her jade fingers lightly.

She should have thought that An Nuo couldn't see anyone every day, so she must be busy with other things. As a member of the royal family, the last thing she lacked was communication.

What's more, a person like An Nuo who has a noble temperament and looks radiant, will be the focus of the audience no matter where he goes, and with his identity background as an embellishment, no matter how you look at it, he will never lack friends.

Friends, this is a very unfamiliar word for Delphis. Since she was a child, no one person can really be the best comment on this word in her heart.

Annuo...could it be that person...

Delphis knew that she was not as indifferent as she appeared on the outside when facing this unknown blood relative. In fact, she had always longed for someone she could talk to.

Even if she is a member of the Fercis family, she has the same blood as that indifferent man.

What if...what if the kindness she showed was not a pretense, but her nature...
