Chapter 190 Follow me closely
This problem troubled her for a long time, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that raising a child is really difficult.
Colin, who had just finished his work, walked over and bowed embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Miss Hilde, my child has caused you trouble."
Shihui smiled gently and said, "Don't be so restrained, at least not with me, and I like children very much, but I also have a question I really want to know."
For them, as long as they don't disobey Lime, their lives can be as comfortable as they want, with endless gold coins and endless delicious food. It doesn't feel like an escape, but more like a free trip.
"I wonder what question Miss Hilde wants to know?"
"You don't have to be so restrained, just sit down."
"Thank you, Miss Hilde."
Seeing the other person sitting opposite her, Shihui asked: "Do children need to eat like this every day, or do they need to eat separately? After all, these two little ones can't control their mouths, especially you, Annie. Don't think I don't think I don't know that you have candy in your pocket every day."
"Woo~"
Annie, who was originally eating happily, immediately looked downcast. She didn't expect that all her little movements were seen. She could only quickly swallow the food in her mouth:
"Gudong~ But the candies are really delicious, mom. There are so many candies, I can't even finish them~"
"Then I'll have to keep a close eye on you two gluttons. Eating so much candy will give you cavities."
"What are cavities, Mom?"
"Your mouth is full of the smell of candy, which will attract many invisible bugs when you sleep. They will run into your mouth and eat your teeth bit by bit, causing you terrible pain."
"Woo~ Mom just knows how to scare me."
"I'm not trying to scare you, I'm trying to tell you not to be greedy. Starting today, you'll have to say goodbye to the candy in your pocket for a while!"
"But... okay, mom~~~"
Faced with Shishi's serious expression, Annie could only pout and take out all the candies with a look of grievance. After all, it was impossible to hide candies in front of her mother who could do magic without being discovered.
Looking at the handful of colorfully wrapped candies on the table, Shime couldn't help but smile.
"Don't be upset. I'll give it to you after a while, but only two a day."
"Wow, why are there only two? There should be at least six~~~"
Annie complained and rubbed her head against Lime in a coquettish manner.
"Well, that trick won't work in this case. Now both of you need to eat your meal."
"I know, mom, but Annie still loves you the most~".
Seeing the two children looking at each other helplessly, both mothers smiled. Colin also said at this time: "I don't quite understand these things, because we have always been ordinary people. Our daily food is limited and we need to be frugal. I never thought that there would be such luxury."
“Luxury?”
There was some emotion in Lime's tone, but Colin knew it was not directed at her. Rather, it was that for the princess in front of him, these luxurious delicacies that they considered in the palace were not worthy of being served on her table.
But Shihui was thinking about malatang, hot pot, barbecue, and fried skewers. The more he thought about it, the greedier he became, and the more he wanted to eat it, the more he wanted to eat it.
However, Olena and Iko who were sitting at the bar didn't care about these things. They just kept eating with their heads down, as if they were not full enough.
"You two too, don't eat so fast, or you'll get an upset stomach!"
"But it's really delicious, Miss Hilde!"
"That's right, you should eat more while you can."
Shi Hui could only shake his head helplessly after hearing this and said, "My diet was strictly controlled before, so I don't know what children should eat and how full they should be.
After all, as a princess, she has to keep up appearances for them. She can’t overeat, and she’s not even allowed to touch the kitchen or the food. She only has a fixed amount of food, tea, and snacks every day. It’s like being in a cage, bound...”
"I'm like a little bird in a cage, with eyes constantly watching me. No matter where I go, I'm followed by attendants. I have to get my mother's permission before entering any door. Otherwise, there are only two doors: my room and hers. And all those so-called aristocratic etiquette courses...
Even my brothers and sisters were not allowed to see me, and I was even less able to see them. Just because they were caught passing notes and chatting with me, they were all sent to other imperial cities, leaving me trapped there alone... "
These were the daily experiences that Mambo told her about. After all, as the most perfect child, she was destined to bring new glory and burdens to the royal family. With such a depressing life, it was no wonder that the previous owner of this body ran so far. If he didn't run away, he would probably be driven crazy.
Such a mother with an extremely strong desire for control can be said to be very terrifying. In order to cultivate this most perfect child, she is even crazy enough to throw away the other eight children. It can be seen to what extent she values and is crazy about Torina.
"It seems that the life of a princess is not so beautiful..."
After hearing Shihui talk about her past life, everyone became very interested and even slowed down their eating. In their minds, Shihui must have been enjoying all the good things in the palace, including jewelry, gold and silver, delicious food and wine, and noble and elegant life.
I didn't expect it to be so depressing and miserable. The Queen's terrible control was really crazy to the extreme. Although everyone knew that Lime's bloodline seemed to be the most perfect, it shouldn't be so crazy.
At this time, Momo also walked in from carriage No. 2 and said slowly: "Is this the reason why you ran to the border, to avoid the disappeared Queen Marika."
"I guess so. After all, I just want to embrace freedom..."
Momo had no opinion on this. After all, the more you suppress a person, the more she will want it. If you don’t give her candy, she will insist on candy. If you don’t give her meat, she will insist on meat.
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the entire royal family's golden bloodline is on the verge of breaking, and your generation has completely broken it, which means the imperial power will soon cease to exist. Queen Marika became pregnant with you at the most desperate moment. This can be considered her last desperate struggle against fate.
But perhaps this is truly a blessing from the gods, or perhaps an impossible miracle. You were born with the favor of all the gods, possessing the purest and most powerful ancestral golden bloodline. Your bloodline is even nobler and more terrifying than that of the first empress. If you don't run, you must sit on the throne and become the new king of this world."
"Honestly, when I received such exaggerated information in the borderland, I didn't believe it at all. I thought it was just a dying rumor. But I didn't expect that you actually existed, Saint, uh no, Her Highness the Saint Princess Tolina. I can't blame your mother for being so crazy about you.
After all, you are the new pinnacle of the entire Golden Family, or rather, the beginning of a new era and bloodline. All members of the royal family have placed their full attention on you. I heard that the moment you were born, the entire imperial city shone with the power of your pure bloodline. Her Highness Marika held you in her arms as if you had found a treasure.
If you were to die unexpectedly or be harmed by one of your brothers and sisters, that would be the biggest problem. After all, the entire royal family is eagerly awaiting your ascension. Queen Marika might even become furious, leading to the outbreak of war. Everyone in the world's most powerful core royal family would be eyeing you covetously. You were about to be eaten, but you miraculously transformed into an unmatched lion and suppressed them once again."
After listening to this, Shihui stretched and said, "How come you know so much about my affairs? It makes me feel sick."
Momo smiled and shook his head: "I like collecting information very much, and your information can be said to be the most widely spread and the fastest. It spread throughout the world within a few days of its birth. The new King of Gold is born."
"So what are you going to do next? Will you return to inherit the throne, or continue wandering around as a free bird?"
Shihui fell silent. She had never really thought about this question, but she still replied: "At least I have to find my hateful mother first. As for whether to inherit the throne, I am not interested. I prefer an idyll life~".
"You are such a strange princess. I thought you hated your mother to the core."
"That's not the case. At most, I'd give her a good slap, tell her what I think, and then leave."
"I guess you can't leave. You are her life's work and hope. She will never let you leave."
"If I could escape the first time, I can escape the second time!"
Looking at Shihui's confident look, Momo could only shut up tactfully. After all, the princess's temper was not as beautiful as her appearance.
After hearing their conversation, everyone on the train was so shocked that they even forgot to eat and just kept the food in their mouths. Although they knew that Shihui was a noble saint, they never thought that she would play such an important role in the core royal city of the world.
They probably couldn't even imagine such an existence.
"What about your brothers and sisters?"
"I want to go see them. They said they would wait for me, until the day I go to see them in person."
"It seems that I always have preconceived notions. I didn't expect that the relationship between you two is so good."
"Almost. At least they all like me very much, and I like them too. It's just that we can't meet each other."
"The borderlands aren't under your empire's jurisdiction, but they absolutely dare not cross the Golden Empire's borders. Naturally, you won't be able to see your brothers, but everyone knows you've escaped here. After all, you're the only one who dares to seduce the Border King. If you succeed, you might just win another huge piece of territory for the Golden Empire."
"But it seems the goddess of luck has always been on your side. The borderlands are now a living hell. Those royal family members who originally wanted to retaliate against you are now overwhelmed with their own affairs. Every place under the control of the nobles and the royal family is collapsing."
"This is the perfect time for you to escape the border and return to the empire!"
Shihui narrowed her eyes and looked at him, and asked, "You know an extraordinary amount, and you are willing to help me, a princess of the empire. I thought you would just sell my information for a high price."
The two people's sharp tongues have never stopped, it just depends on who can be more vicious than the other.
"Don't worry, the guy who wields a sharp blade at his companion is the most hateful person in the world. I won't betray you. At least before you escape from the border, I won't reveal your whereabouts. I can also use my name to help you confuse the public."
"Huh? Even great heroes have their moments of scheming!"
"The debt between us does not need to be measured by money, nor can it be measured by money. You have helped so much, and what I can do is just a small contribution. Whether you can escape depends on your own ability. After all, those ships on the sea will not give me face."
"You're not going to leave?"
"I want to stay in this place, in my homeland."
"What if the destruction of the Borderlands is inevitable and has already begun?"
"What does it mean?"
Hearing this, Momo's voice became low, and everyone's heart tightened. After all, Shihui had no need to lie to deceive others, and she had no interest in doing so.
Shi Hui flicked his nails and said, "The invasion of the Outer Gods has begun to spread. A huge blood mist formed by the fallen flesh and blood Outer Gods is chasing us from behind. There are countless terrible and deformed monsters in it that can't be killed. At this rate of spread, if you still insist on staying, you will just die in vain. If you choose to help me, I will naturally return the favor."
Momo was silent, then asked, "How did you know?"
"How do you know? I just escaped from that ghost thing with Olena and Annie. It has been right behind us and has never stopped devouring us!"
"puff!"
Upon hearing this information, Oleina spat out all the tea in her mouth, not caring about choking, and hurriedly confirmed with her: "Are you telling the truth, Miss Hilde? That ghost thing is still chasing us?!"
Shime shook his head: "It can't be said that they are chasing us, but they plan to start from the border and swallow the whole world..."
"Then...then what should we do?!"
"Try every possible way to leave the border. Even if you send more soldiers and sacrifice millions of people, you can't stop it from devouring. Instead, it will continue to grow in size and speed, and more monsters will be born inside. This is just my guess. After all, that thing is getting bigger and more terrifying as it spreads."
Everyone fell silent after hearing this. This piece of heavy news was heavier than a mountain, weighing heavily on them. They had thought that going to Helm Harbor would allow them to return to their previous lives, but they had not expected that this was just the beginning of despair.
Colin, Horold, Lixia and the others all looked despairing. They had never expected that they would never be able to go back after leaving. They had previously dreamed of killing all the monsters and taking back their territory, but now it seemed like a pipe dream.
Shihui leaned back on the sofa and continued, "I'm not telling you all this to intimidate you or put pressure on you, but to tell you not to slack off, don't fall behind, and if you want to survive, then follow me closely. After all, I can't take care of too many people!"
"I already have enough children to take care of, and I don't want to take any more. This escape trip for us is already full!"
When they heard that Shime would continue to lead them, the expressions of Lixia, Colin and others immediately relaxed. They were afraid that the other party would abandon them, so they could only silently wait for death to come. After all, they were all ordinary people and did not have the other party's magic and wisdom.
Everyone spoke up: "We will definitely follow you closely, Miss Hilde!"
