Chapter 1429 Side Story of Jaden, First Meeting
That day the Phoenix Valley became a hell on earth, in which countless people wailed and countless others fell in blood.
But the two thousand Fitzgerald army, battered and bruised, did not even raise a frown.
Fifty thousand soldiers against two thousand was absolute crushing, it was more like a massacre, one of their own against one of their own.
No one would have dared to think that the 50, 000 soldiers who should have had an absolute advantage, except for the very few who fled in disarray, were almost completely killed by the two thousand Fitzgerald’s.
Killing the last soldier sent by the emperor, the last of the Fitzgerald family soldiers, Sethaden, also fell on top of the mountain of corpses with wounds all over his body.
None of the 2, 000 soldiers under his command survived.
Sethaden’s eyes, too, were scarlet when he thought of the hot blood that spurted from his soldiers on the ground.
Before the cunning rabbit died, the emperor, there was no longer room for the Fitzgerald army.
It is the greatest sadness of a country where the soldiers are fighting bravely in front of the enemy, but the emperor is suspicious and pressed hard.
“You’re finally awake!”
Sethaden was lost in his own thoughts when a soft, sweet voice came into his ears.
Subconsciously, he turned his face in the direction of the voice and met a pair of watery almond eyes.
The corners of her eyes, slightly upturned, are dark and shiny, with two slightly curved eyebrows, as if she were a distant mountain with diaphanous hair, and at the corners of her lips, there are two small swirls, and when she smiles, it is sweet and beautiful, as if, the whole world is lit up.
For a long, long time afterwards, Sethaden asked himself countless times why he had fallen so uncontrollably in love with Rachel.
Every time he gave him an answer, it wasn’t because she had saved him.
He thought that he would fall in love with her, perhaps, just because the bright light in her eyes lit up his heart and dispelled the boundless fog of blood that had congealed in his heart.
“What’s your name?” When Rachel saw that Sethaden had not spoken after opening his eyes, she thought that he had been dropped silly, and she could not help but feel worried in her heart.
She was the eldest princess of Pingliang and she had stolen away from Pingliang this time to escape from her marriage.
Her father, the emperor, wants to marry her to the prince of the Great Wei, Harrison.
Her father said that as she was born a royal princess, she should take on the responsibility of guarding the country’s people, and that it was her mission to marry the prince.
But Rachel never felt that she was born for this political marriage, and besides, his father was all moral and noble, serving the country and the people, and he let her marry the Prince of Great Wei just so that she could secretly get the army deployment map of Great Wei!
When he gets a map of Great Wei’s marching forces, it is certain that the father cannot be for the sake of a centuries-long friendship between the two countries, but he wants to attack Great Wei.
If you really want to defend your country’s people, you should not start a war.
Rachel is not stupid, she will not take her lifelong happiness to satisfy her father’s selfish desires and wreak havoc on the people of Pingliang.
In her life, if she were to marry someone, she would only marry someone she could fancy.
She did not need him to be rich and powerful, as long as he was in her eyes.
So, Rachel quietly exchanged all the most valuable items she had for money and, with her bag on her back, she ran away from her parents.
It was just that she never expected to see corpses everywhere when she passed by Feng Ming Valley. She was so timid that she pulled her legs out in fear and ran away, only she never expected that she would not take more than a few steps before a large, bloody hand, grabbed her ankle.
Rachel was stunned, she thought she had seen a ghost in daylight, but to her surprise, the man who grabbed her ankle was still breathing.
Only with his body badly wounded and covered in blood, his bloody appearance really looked like a ghost.
She knew about the art of medicine and knew that this man needed to be treated quickly, otherwise he would die.
She was too soft-hearted to see him die, but she didn’t have the courage to save him in this mountain of blood either.
She gritted her teeth and simply carried him on her back, intending to go down the hill and heal him.
He was so heavy and she was so weak that she couldn’t carry him down the hill, halfway up it, and she was dying of exhaustion.
On the way, she accidentally dropped him several times, and on a few occasions she even hit his head. Seeing his eyes open, his eyes unfocused and silent, she was really worried that she had dropped him silly.
“Hey, what’s your name anyway?”
Seeing that he still didn’t say anything, Rachel couldn’t help but speak up, “You didn’t really get dumbed, did you? I’m telling you, I saved your life, even if you were dumbed down by me, we’re still even, you can’t blame me!”
“Sethaden.” Sethaden withdrew his eyes from Rachel and spoke indifferently.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“So you’re not stupid!”
Rachel smiled with arched eyebrows, “That’s great, you’re not stupid so I don’t have to take responsibility for you!”
“Sethaden, where is your home? Can you inform your family so they can come and look after you? I’m so busy, I don’t have time to be pestered by you all the time!”
Rachel looked at Sethaden, who looked like a bloody man, and couldn’t help but frown, saving him was an accident.
She is really busy, running away from the marriage, in case she is caught back by the people sent by her father, she will have to marry that pig-headed prince of the Great Wei Kingdom, and continuing to carry him around will definitely have to affect her plan to escape from the marriage, she has to get rid of this big burden quickly.
Sethaden did not answer Rachel’s words, but moved his dry lips, “Water.”
Water?
Is he asking for a drink of water?
Rachel gave him a disgusted look, it was good enough that she had saved him, and she was still assigned to get him water, she had never served anyone water in her eighteen years of life!
Although she was very reluctant, Rachel was after all soft-hearted. Seeing that he was so badly hurt, she resigned herself to taking the water jug and going to the side of the stream to fetch water for him to drink.
Rachel was so kind-hearted that after she had fetched him water, she soaked a handkerchief in the process and wiped his blood-stained face.
Rachel had never been to a military camp, but she had heard many stories about the generals and soldiers, and the stories said that the men in those camps were dark and rough, one after the other.
But this man was so handsome!
Hey, in all her years of life, it was the first time she had seen such a good looking man!
His eyes, in particular, look as cold as a thousand years of unbroken ice at first glance, but when she looks closely, she feels that his eyes are particularly deep and can suck one’s soul in.
Looking a few more times, she can still see that there are stars in his eyes.
Rachel suddenly felt that it was no big deal to serve such a good-looking person a drink of water.
And it should be fun to run away from the marriage even with such a good-looking liability.
There are many beautiful men in Pingliang, and Rachel had always felt that a good-looking skin was boring and not attractive, but at this moment, she was inexplicably attracted to this good-looking skin in front of her.
He was so attractive that she wanted to drool.
It turned out that she had never known that she was actually a horny one.
Rachel suddenly changed her mind about chasing away the burden, she smiled like fox and spoke, “Sethaden, I’m your benefactor! I saved your life, shouldn’t you repay me?”
