Chapter 122 Hate and Anger
"Tallulah, is the news passed around by the warriors true? Did you really fight with her?"
Alina had a curious smile on her face, just like an ordinary girl, gossiping with her sisters.
She smiled and said, "I heard that you blew up that abandoned city. That was the Snow Monster Squad, and the girl named Froststar was a well-known warrior in the tundra."
"You actually melted her Originium ice crystal. She must be unconvinced... Haha, half of your body was frozen, and you also broke her knife."
"Now you're famous, too. Kids always compare you to her."
……
"Tallulah, you've made Froststar angry again. Is this her cloak? Your fire burned a hole in it. It's not unfair that you were frozen by her. I'll fix it for you. With your clumsy hands, the damage might only get worse. Froststar will kill you."
"Tallulah, I want to be a teacher. The children in the settlement like me very much. They always gather around me to listen to stories. I want to teach them how to read."
"Tallulah, did your plan succeed? Did you meet the person you always talk about?"
……
"Tallulah, you finally met that person, but you don't seem very happy... So you were scared by that old man? You actually lack confidence. I have never seen you lack confidence... Yes, he was a patriot after all, and you failed to convince him... Don't be discouraged. The Tallulah I know will not give up."
"Tallulah, you succeeded. After hearing that they can go with the guerrillas, many of our infected people are very happy."
"Tallulah, we have lived better in the past two years than before. You made the right choice. You are right this time."
……
"Integration Movement? That's a good name. Are you going to start heading south?"
"The Patriot still has a disagreement with you. You'll convince him, right, Tallulah?"
……
"You have captured a city...very impressive...did some people choose to leave? That's normal...you and the patriots have a disagreement again...you choose to forgive those who left. Yes, I knew you would make this choice, Tallulah."
"You were taught a lesson by the Patriot. I never thought that Tallulah, who is always good at speaking, would have a day when she can't win over others. That old man must be very good at speaking."
"Well, these two kids are... Sasha and Ino? You rescued them from a mine? This is the luckiest thing that happened to you during these unlucky days."
……
"Tallulah, are you confused?"
"Tallulah, you are afraid. You know that it was those who left who betrayed our whereabouts. That's why you are so exhausted. You should have the right to be angry... You don't dare to be angry with them. Are you afraid because of the man named Kosice that you told me about?"
"Tallulah...if one day we all leave you, will you still be able to fight?"
……
"Tallulah, you actually convinced the Patriot. This is the first time you've defeated him since you two met... Is his throat uncomfortable? It turns out you were bullying him... Yes, everything will turn out well."
"Tallulah, you have your work to do. You have to lead the infected people. I also have my work to do. The warriors and children need some essential fruits... Don't worry about me. I know which side is dangerous. I will go to the village in the other direction to trade... Well, you have to cheer up."
……
……
……
Alina lied.
Not everything will go well.
Once the war breaks out, it will not obey commands and will spread wantonly.
The bad news came from the children that their teacher sister had never returned.
His boots were soaked in icy water, and his legs and feet were sunk deep into the snow that reflected the blinding light.
I don’t know how long I ran, the cold wind penetrated into my lungs and it was very painful.
Then, the footsteps stopped.
Hot tears fell from the corners of my eyes.
Alina fell on the side of the road, clutching the empty basket tightly in her hand. Her clothes were soaked with blood, and the paleness of the grass and soil around her was also dyed into a dark red.
The snow just keeps falling.
Alina's body looked so small, but when she was carried on my back, she seemed so heavy... as heavy as the earth.
Alina's heartbeat was so light, so light it was frightening.
The words that came out of Alina's lips were weak, but more determined than ever:
“Tallulah, don’t ask, don’t look for it, and I won’t tell you who did it… No, go for revenge, you can’t fight for revenge, this is the path you chose.
For me, I can't accept giving up halfway.
No, hate anyone."
"Tallulah, you can be angry, you can hate something, you can choose not to forgive what they did, but you are not allowed to...hate someone."
The white-haired Draco trudged in the endless snow. The girl leaned on her back and trembled constantly, occasionally taking a deep breath because of the pain of her wounds.
Alina's heartbeat was gradually slowing down, and the temperature of her body was slowly approaching the cold air around her.
Snowflakes fell from Alina's horns, and the snow-covered trees burned silently as Tallulah walked past, setting the ground on fire where she stepped.
But Tallulah just felt cold, and the fire could not warm Alina's body again.
The snow is getting heavier.
Tallulah doesn't remember what happened next.
Tallulah remembered nothing.
Everything that Tallulah should have remembered melted away with the snowflakes.
In the heavy snow, Tallulah said goodbye to her friends.
……
……
Tears fell from Amiya's eyes.
In the picture of memory, a third person's perspective appeared unconsciously.
She finally saw Tallulah's figure, saw her gradually become silent, saw her communication with the Patriot become sharper, and saw the Patriot's voice gradually become intermittent.
Tallulah still adheres to her creed and continues to fight. She does not investigate the murderer who killed Alina. She suppresses all her emotions in her heart.
Amiya saw several figures wearing black military uniforms, with sabers on their waists and strange masks on their heads meeting Tallulah's team.
Amid the guerrillas' exclamations, Amiya learned their identities.
The Emperor's sharp blade, a monster created by the Ursus Empire.
The white snowflakes stuck to their clothes and suddenly turned black, then shattered and scattered on the ground, becoming as dirty as mud.
Amiya could see the panic of Tallulah and the guerrillas.
The Emperor's sharp blade discovered Tallulah and revealed her identity: the Duke of Ursus and the daughter of Kosice.
There was no need to say anything more. The people around her looked at Tallulah with strange and wary eyes.
This battle is more difficult than ever before.
Those black figures easily overpowered Tallulah and the guerrilla fighters.
Until that towering figure broke through the wind and snow and came behind Tallulah.
The Patriot's hand rested on Tallulah's shoulder.
Amiya was in a trance, and she seemed to feel a familiar sense of déjà vu.
Tallulah and the Patriot.
Amiya and Qi Yan.
The Emperor's Blades did not want to fight the Patriots, nor did they dare to fight the Patriots, so they left.
Here, Amiya seemed to feel a sense of strangeness again.
The emperor's blade retreated unharmed.
The black-capped shadow guards were nailed to the wall by Qi Yan.
Amiya pursed her lips and continued to pay attention to Tallulah's figure.
The Emperor's blade left, but the impact of their arrival will always remain with Tallulah.
Tallulah seemed to become even more taciturn.
She began to gradually shift her thinking from the infected team to herself.
Sometimes she stopped expressing her full opinion.
Sometimes, she began to try to act on her own.
Until she came across a village.
She did not walk in through the entrance as usual, but sneaked into the village quietly.
Amiya and Tallulah both witnessed a tragedy.
There was no food in the village's granary, only deposited source stone debris and a ground that had been dug into pits. The door of the granary was covered with dark red scratches and palm prints, which were still glaring even under the charred black color of the flames.
"Why?" Amiya's voice trembled.
"Why?" Tallulah's voice was painful.
Someone in the village discovered Tallulah.
Because of Tallulah's aristocratic attire, the villagers mistook her for a high-ranking lord and began to publicize their victories.
They lured the infected into a granary, locked them up, starved them to death, and then burned everything down.
The villagers' voices were like heavy hammers, hitting Tallulah's heart and Amiya's heart.
"Why!" Amiya's voice was angry.
"Why!" Tallulah's voice was filled with hatred.
No one could continue to answer their questions.
The flames spread from under Tallulah's feet. The village burned amid people's screams. Children could not find their parents, and the elderly lost their children.
Curses, screams, pleas for mercy...
Amiya and Tallulah looked at each other.
They heard a voice at the same time.
"Once you identify with me, once you understand me, once you understand what kind of land you are in...
You'll be the next me."
