Chapter 372 Extra: Afanasya (Part )
Chapter 372 Extra: Afanasya (Part )
Nasha and Hazi made an escape plan.
Hazi didn't think Philip could be changed from within. Philip's deep-rooted traditions were not so easy to get rid of, and Hazi felt that Philip could only see some good changes if the king and all the nobles died.
"But that will take too long. Hazi, putting external pressure on Philip is a long process. During this process, our weakness will breed the bacteria of compromise."
Naxia held a fountain pen, and there was a thin layer of callus on her thumb and middle finger caused by the pen. The life of imprisonment made her thinner and thinner, her eye sockets were sunken, and her cherry pink eyes looked big and bright, almost intimidating.
"Ha Zi, we can only trust ourselves. It is impossible to rely on other forces to promote Philippi's progress. If Philippi is swallowed up by other countries at that time, the consequences will be even more serious."
"So you don't want to leave?"
"No, I must go. But I will come back."
"You want to save that guy Sai Ke, right? I don't understand. You are so smart, why would you like a fool like Sai Ke! Can he understand what you mean? He is in the palace and is controlled by the king. Are you sure he still wants to escape from the palace with you now?
As long as he stays in the palace, he can take over Aloso's position as king in the future. Are you sure he wants to leave?"
"Ha Zi, I trust Sai Ke just as much as I trust you."
Ha Zi was speechless.
Naxia suddenly put down the pen in her hand and straightened her back.
"Did you hear that? The sound of ding-ding-ding, that's the king's will."
"king?"
"Ha Zi, let's prepare to enter the palace. Our plan has been advanced. We need to change our destination to the territory of the Rang Luo family."
Ha Zi didn't understand how Naxia could be so sure.
"Do you and Psycho exchange letters?"
Nasha shook her head.
Ha Zi thought she was ridiculous.
"What if he is already insane? What if he tells the king about it? Even if you know him well, you can't be so confident!"
"Ha Zi, I do know Sai Ke, but I know my uncle better."
Nasha stopped talking. She listened quietly to the footsteps coming from the corridor.
Three steps. Two steps. One step.
Push the door open and enter.
It's Amira. Her mother.
"Naxia, your uncle is hosting a banquet and he wants you to attend. Let me help you refuse. The most important thing for you to do now is to take good care of your health at home and cultivate your relationship with Mr. Hazi——"
Amira glanced at Nasha's skirt straps and Hazi's expression. She was a little disappointed and made a sarcastic remark to Hazi.
"Mr. Hazi, those promising nobles all have their own children present flowers at their weddings."
Ha Zi was shocked by these words, but looking at the shackles on Nasha's ankles, Ha Zi thought it was normal for Amira to say such a thing.
Amira turned and left, and Nasha looked at Hazi with a smile.
"Ignore that."
"Are you sure you are Mrs. Vasa's biological child?"
Nasha laughed.
"Of course. My mother thought that since I could die at any time, it would be better for me to die on the day of delivery so that her bloodline would continue.
Because she didn't plan to have another child, she wanted me to give birth to one.
Ha Zi, have you never felt strange? You are standing in my bedroom now, and my underwear is hanging in the cupboard behind you. You can see everything as long as you open it. "
Ha Zi left his original position as if he was scalded, he was a little bit unbelieving.
"Why--"
"Because I am a woman, and this is Philip. Hazi, the attitude of the mother would be considered indulgence in other families.
So you see, my radicalism is based on facts. The plight of women in Philippi has existed for too long. Gentle means are not enough to shake the solid tradition, and evasion cannot solve the problem. "
Ha Zi paused. He began to understand a little.
"Is this why you must rescue Psyche Jeanro?"
Nasha paused.
"Ha Zi, I can't deny that there is such a reason. But saying it out loud makes it seem like the relationship between Sai Ke and I is not so pure - Ha Zi, I love Sai Ke."
Nasha took out Philip's map.
“Giving up the Luo family’s territory is our best option for resistance.
But even if Sai Ke was not from the Ran Luo family, I would still choose to rescue him. It’s just that he happens to be the heir of the Ran Luo family.”
Hazi sighed.
"That's fine, but hasn't Madam Vasa already rejected the king's invitation? How can we get to the palace to rescue Psyche?"
"Like I said, Hazi, I know my uncle. Sai Ke should be insane now, so my uncle proudly wants to show me his achievements. He needs to defeat me and gain control over Sai Ke. He will definitely let me go to the banquet, even if my mother refuses, and Aloso will not agree."
really.
On the day of the banquet, Ha Zi received Miss Afanasyia Vasa, who was dressed in a gorgeous dress.
Mrs. Vasa, who was standing next to them, had a gloomy face and called many servants to go to the palace with them to prevent Nasha from escaping.
When Ha Zi helped Na Xia onto the carriage, he felt that her skirt was unusually heavy.
"It's my manuscript. I didn't take anything else. I only took this."
Nasha took out the novel she had written from her skirt.
"Ha Zi, what do you think of this novel?"
The journey to the palace was long, and Ha Zi finished reading the story written by Na Xia on the way.
Ha Zi was silent for a long time, then he raised his head with moist eyes.
"Fiana's life is so difficult. Will she have a good ending?"
Nasha was slightly startled, then lowered her head.
"I don't know either. Ha Zi, 'she' has just escaped from the family. 'She' doesn't know if she can reach a place where she can do something, or if she can leave the party safely."
"This is your story. How do you want Fiana to end?"
"To be king."
"Nasha, you know this is impossible."
"Novels are fiction. Ha Zi, maybe a hundred years from now, there will really be a 'Fiana'."
“Then we won’t be able to see it.”
"Yes. We probably won't be able to see it, but we can do a lot to make Fiana appear earlier."
The carriage stopped.
Naxia straightened her skirt and handed her manuscript to Ha Zi.
"If I fail to get out of the palace, you will be the one to continue writing this story."
Ha Zi was a little annoyed holding Naxia's manuscript.
"I'm a publisher! Nasha, you know I can't write stories."
"I know. What I mean is that I will get out of the palace safely, with Psyche."
"Are you so sure?"
"No. Ha Zi, you probably don't know that sometimes I like to gamble with fate."
But Nasha's expression remained normal, quiet and calm.
It was not until Naxia put her hand on Hazi's arm that Hazi realized how nervous Naxia was. Naxia's hand was as cold as stream water.
Nasha's palms warmed up again after she saw Sai Ke.
Seko was no different from those romantic nobles. He listened to Aloso very much, but he looked at Nasha from time to time with some doubts.
When Aloso left for something, Sai Ke slipped over and looked straight at Nasha.
"Do I know you? Why do you look so familiar! And every time I see you my heart starts beating faster."
Nasha looked at Sai Ke steadily, then smiled.
"You tell me, Psyche."
"I don't think I know you. But I feel very angry when I see the man next to you. I think he shouldn't be alive. What's your name?"
"Afanasyia."
"wrong!"
Sai Ke frowned tightly.
"You shouldn't call me that. No, no, I shouldn't call you that...Nasha."
Aloso is back.
He did not call Sai Ke back, but watched Sai Ke and Na Xia's conversation with interest. He was confident in his own methods and felt that Sai Ke could not recognize Na Xia.
Aloso raised his glass to Nasha from a distance in a provocative manner. Nasha lowered her head slightly, looking sad, but in fact she asked Sai Ke in a very clear voice, "When is the luncheon, Sai Ke?"
Sai Ke was stunned.
He stumbled over his words.
"Uh...it's eleven o'clock now. I don't think this is probably the right answer, so we knew each other before, right? Is your name Nasha? I think it sounds better than Afanasya, although they are both nice...I like you."
Sai Ke was stunned by herself.
"I like you?"
Sai Ke thought slowly, a little confused. His head started to hurt violently, and some images were running around in his mind, and he saw the figure of the same person.
He held hands with that person, hugged him tightly, and kissed him passionately. His memory was covered by this figure.
Sai Ke closed her eyes, endured the pain, and forced herself to remember who this figure was.
After a long time, Sai Ke opened her eyes and looked clear.
"I like you. Naxia, the luncheon is at 12 noon. Today is a very nice sunny day."
Nasha's body temperature was slowly rising. Her hands were no longer cold. She relaxed completely.
That was the first time Ha Zi saw Na Xia smile like this, an undisguised, proud, sunny smile.
Nasha looked gentle.
"Yes. It's twelve o'clock noon. Psyche, let's get out of here."
"Where to go? Aloso will find me."
"Your territory. Psyche, that will be the beginning of our new life."
"That's all right, but who is he? Should we take him with us?"
Sai Ke stared at Ha Zi with unfriendly eyes.
Ha Zi smiled politely in return.
"Hello, I'm Hazi. Nasha's publisher. I think you have to take me with you, otherwise you won't be able to reach the territory of the Ran Luo family."
After saying these words, Ha Zi gave Na Xia an expression that said "He is really an idiot."
Naxia laughed. Sai Ke didn't understand what Naxia was laughing at, but just watching Naxia laugh, his mood became brighter.
……
Ha Zi successfully escaped to the territory of the Ran Luo family with Sai Ke and Na Xia, but the Ran Luo family was also full of disputes. In the intense struggle for power, Na Xia and Sai Ke came to the end and won the territory of the Ran Luo family.
Nasha's novel was written intermittently. She was always busy, she wanted to improve the situation of women in Philippi, even if it was just in the territory of the Jean-Lo family. As Nasha's publisher, Ha Zi couldn't say anything to urge her, because he was ordered around by the couple. In addition to being a publisher, he was also responsible for managing part of the affairs of the Jean-Lo family's territory.
But he felt that life was full of hope. He believed in Nasha. Although he thought Nasha's taste in choosing boyfriends was average, he believed in Nasha's intelligence.
All in all, things are generally moving in a positive direction.
Despite Aloso's pursuit, Nasha was not afraid. She always walked ahead of Aloso. She knew Aloso, but Aloso seemed to become even crazier after losing Sekko.
Nasha's health was getting weaker and weaker. She was already weak, but she still worked day and night to explore the actual situation of the territory and issue appropriate decrees.
She believed that Psyche had the ability to manage the territory, but there were some things that could only be done by her. She wanted to set up a shelter to protect all women whose rights were violated. She wrote many enlightenment stories to let girls know how to protect themselves, although those stories would not have the author's name.
Naxia had written nursery rhymes and published picture books, but her novel had been stagnant for a long time. So long that Ha Zi couldn't help but urge her.
"Nasha, are you really not going to write your novel anymore?"
"Ha Zi, I've been creating."
"but……"
Those works were not signed. No one knew that there was such a female novelist who made so many contributions. What Nasha did was blank in history.
Naxia did not explain. In fact, her busy work had dried up her inspiration. She looked at her novel and did not want to mechanically fill the word count with forced words. Her novel was written based on her own experience. Now she was working hard for the territory, and "Fiana" in the book was also fighting for her future.
They are parallel. Before she has any new changes, the "Fiana" she writes should not have any new changes.
Then, one night, she suddenly fell into a strange dream.
Rose bushes flowing like the sea, bustling as if there is a family castle, clear moonlight, overflowing happiness, a perfect world.
She wandered in her dream and woke up at dawn. A rainbow-colored halo fell on her palm, and she suddenly wanted to write something, such as the future of "Fiana".
She got up and put on her coat to work on her unfinished novel, and Psycho woke up when she sensed her departure.
Psycho hugged her dazedly and asked her what she was going to do.
Nasha leaned on Sai Ke, she looked at the clear sky outside and lowered her voice.
"If we have a child, her name should be Fiana."
Sai Ke responded vaguely, kissing Naxia like a chick pecking at rice. He came to his senses a little, and then asked Naxia with some doubt, "If it's a boy, will he also be called Fiana?"
Naxia shook her head. She was also a little uncertain.
"I always felt that our baby would be a girl."
"If it's a girl, will she look like you?"
"Sek, our children will look like us."
"It's OK to look like you. It's OK to look like me. Nasha, am I not ugly?"
Nasha smiled. She raised her head and kissed Sai Ke.
"Yes, you are the most beautiful in my heart."
……
After a long time, when Nasha really had her little Fiana, when Nasha finished writing her novel, when Nasha saved her little Fiana but was discovered by Aloso, when Nasha entrusted her manuscript to Hazi and let Hazi escape, at the end of everything——
Nasha saw the colorful dawn again.
She saw a child with pink hair and pink eyes, who looked like Psycho and also like her.
This child who seemed familiar yet strange to Nasha was sleeping on the cold floor, with scars on his hands and tears on his face. His pity broke her heart.
Nasha hugged the child who had the same pink eyes as her, tightly. Her tears floated in the air and turned into golden dust.
As the sunlight grew brighter, she became more and more transparent.
Nasha knew she was about to disappear.
Before disappearing, Nasha touched the child's pink hair and said "sorry" very softly.
"Feel sorry."
"My little Fiana."
"I'm leaving."
