Chapter 1,061 Panting
Angelola was panting, obviously frightened.
She looked at Rennes with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, Rennes.
If it weren't for you tonight, I'd probably..."
"Your Majesty, let's not talk about this for now. Although we are temporarily safe now, those soldiers may come at any time." Rennes said in a deep voice, "He was observing the surrounding environment vigilantly."
Angelola nodded, knowing that Rennes was telling the truth.
Although these ordinary soldiers are not to be feared, if they sound the alarm and attract those semi-Divine Level beings, the consequences will be disastrous.
There was a brief silence in the cave, with only the breathing of the two people echoing in the darkness.
Angelola suddenly said: "Rennes, why did you take such a big risk to save me?"
Rennes turned around, looked into her eyes, and said affectionately: "Because you have an irreplaceable position in my heart.
Since the first time I met you, I have been deeply attracted by your wisdom and beauty.
I can't bear to see you get hurt in any way. "
After hearing this, Angelola showed a complicated expression on her face.
She was both moved and worried: "Rennes, is it worth it for you to do this? What if you are discovered..." 19 "For you, everything is worth it." Rennes said firmly, "And I believe that as long as we act carefully, it won't There will be problems."
Angelola looked at Rennes's eyes, and the worry in her heart slowly dissipated.
She felt Rennes's firmness and determination, and believed in his ability to protect herself.
The two of them waited quietly in the cave until it got daylight.
As time went by, the commotion outside gradually calmed down.
Rennes cautiously stuck his head out to observe the situation, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was safe.
He turned to Angelola and said: "Your Majesty, we can go out now."
Angelola nodded and stood up.
After a thrilling night, her trust and dependence on Rennes deepened.
The two walked out of the cave side by side, facing the rising sun.
"Who is there?" The voice was cold and alert, echoing in the silent night.
The source was a patrolling guard. He was wearing heavy armor, and the torch held high in his hand was swaying in the dark night, emitting a weak but firm light.
The light was like a lost soul, exploring in the darkness, gradually approaching the shadows where Rennes and Angelola were hiding.
Rennes' nerves tensed up instantly. He was like a leopard ready to attack, keenly aware of the approaching danger.
Without any hesitation, he pulled up Angelola beside him and said in a low and firm voice: "Quick, follow me." The two of them were like two ghostly figures, quickly and quietly blending into the night, trying their best to move. Don't make any noise to avoid alerting others.
The guard seemed to notice something unusual. He frowned in confusion, and then walked quickly in the direction of the sound.
However, when he reached the source of the sound, Rennes and Angelola had already disappeared into the darkness.
The guard looked around, his eyes showing vigilance and confusion, but the surroundings were silent and he found nothing.
He could only shake his head, secretly blaming himself for being too sensitive, and then continued along the established patrol route.
Rennes and Angelola ran wildly, their heartbeats and footsteps intertwining into a tense movement in the night sky.
They passed through the dense woods, and the branches scratched Angelola's cheek, leaving a shallow scar, but she didn't care.
They crossed a small stream, and the clear water shone silvery white under the moonlight, reflecting their nervous and determined faces.
After a lot of running around, they finally came to a small cave near the military camp.
This cave is hidden and deep, as if it is a shelter specially prepared for them by Mother Earth.
Rennes once discovered this cave accidentally during an expedition, but he didn't expect that it would become their life-saving straw tonight.
As soon as he entered the cave, Angelola couldn't wait to lean against the cave wall, breathing heavily.
Obviously, she was very frightened, her face was as pale as paper, and the panic in her eyes had not faded.
She looked up at Rennes, her eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Rennes.
If it weren't for you tonight, I'd probably..."
Rennes did not let Angelola continue speaking, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't talk about this now.
Although we are temporarily safe now, the crisis has not yet been resolved.
Those soldiers may come at any time, and we must remain vigilant at all times. "He said, scanning the surrounding environment with burning eyes, as if he wanted to carve every detail into his mind.
Angelola nodded, she naturally understood Rennes' concerns.
Although these ordinary soldiers are not scary to them, once they sound the alarm and attract those powerful semi-Divine Level beings, the consequences will be disastrous.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder and held Rennes' hand tightly.
Rennes felt Angelola's tension and dependence, and he firmly held her hand back, giving her silent comfort and support.
The two of them stood quietly in the cave, listening to the movement outside, waiting for the arrival of dawn.
Time seemed to slow down extremely slowly at this moment, and every second was filled with endless torment and expectation.
However, they know that only by persisting can they see the dawn of hope.
As the night gets darker, the noise outside gradually calms down.
Rennes and Angelola slowly felt relieved.
They know that the most dangerous moment has passed, but the road ahead is still long and difficult.
However, no matter how many difficulties and challenges await them ahead, as long as they go hand in hand, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
In this small and hidden cave, they felt that the tacit understanding and trust between them reached their peak at this moment.
"Can you agree to marry me now?"
at this time.
Rennes said directly, because his purpose is very simple, if he has a strong wife, then his strength will also become stronger.
And the other person is pretty good-looking too.
"Can you agree to marry me now?" Rennes stared at Angelola, his eyes full of expectation and determination.
Angelola was shocked by Rennes' directness. She looked at Rennes with a trace of complicated emotions in her eyes.
As the empress of the Hill Empire, she shoulders the heavy responsibility of the entire empire. For her, marriage is not just a matter of personal feelings [but also the stability and future of the empire.
She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Rennes, I am very grateful for your affection for me and for your help tonight."
