As Anna Karenina says, happy families are the same, and unhappy families are unhappy in their own way.

Even the royal family of Europe, which was extremely envious in the eyes of outsiders, had scars that could not be revealed, as well as a dark side that could not be revealed to outsiders.

The scariest part of life was not that you knew when you would die, but that you knew that you would eventually die, that you would live, and that you would live, not for yourself, not even for fun, like a fat pig being kept in a pen, fattening up and killing and eating meat.

Sophia was the daughter of Duke Tulip of the Netherlands, a princess that was not known to the world. Even some of the royals who were not part of the royal family did not know anything about her existence.

This was because from the moment she was born, she was like a fat pig in a pen. One day, she would definitely send her life to the guillotine. Such a cruel thing should have been completely abandoned. The hiding of Sophia could then allow the members of the royal family to hide their faces.

God knows what a bad influence the reputation of the royal family would have had if the world had known that the Duke of Tulip in the Netherlands had a daughter who was born to be slaughtered.

The reason for all of this was only because of a single sentence from the astrologer, who had taken her fate into account when Sophia had been born. She said, 'This child has the purest bloodline of the royal family and is the best candidate for a blood sacrifice!'

Just because of these words, it had determined Sophia's fate for life. From then on, Sophia was sent to an ancient fortress by the royal family of the Netherlands.

He was not allowed to attend any of the royal weddings, sacrifices, and coming of age ceremonies. She was strictly forbidden to leave the castle even half a step, even when the Duke of Tulip wanted to visit her, he was firmly rejected. This was because they were worried that if such an action was seen by someone who wanted to do something like this, they would be magnified infinitely, and the secret planned by the royal family would be exposed completely.

Sophia slowly grew up in this kind of environment. At fourteen years of age, her impression of the outside world was like a ray of sunlight that passed through the only window of the ancient fortress.

Perhaps this wisp of light was the greatest gift that the heavens had given to Sophia. In fourteen years of time, this little girl had grown up to her current appearance, just like the one recorded for a princess in a fairy tale.

Until her fourteenth birthday, when the bodyguard and chef who had been accompanying her since her birth heard the private conversations of the astrologers who had come to visit Sophia. Finally, she couldn't bear to be tortured by her conscience. She didn't have the heart to let this fourteen-year-old girl hurriedly end her blooming age and brought her away from the castle.

"You all will know what happens next!" Sophia jumped down from Lin Bai's embrace, reached out, and touched the raindrops that were falling from the sky, then chuckled softly: "When I was at the ancient fortress, I had accompanied the sunlight as I went out. I thought I could see more sunlight, but I didn't expect to see sad rain first!"

Shen Xiaoyi's face revealed incomparable pain, as if she was suffering from the same suffering as Sophia. Even the thick-skinned Shang Zhuocai, who was incomparably optimistic, had a dejected look on his face. The human heart was built upon the flesh, and when it came to suffering, seeing it with one's own eyes was far more profound than one could imagine.

In the minds of the common people, princesses were like food and clothing on a treasured horse carriage, traveling the world with a great reputation. No matter which country they went to, they would be treated with the highest form of courtesy. Moreover, all the girls in the world had no dreams of being a princess. But, what about Sophia?

She should have had such a life. From her appearance, it could even be said that she was a pearl on the crown of the Dutch royalty.

But just because of a single sentence, she lost everything. When she came to this world, no one knew. Even if she left, it would also be impossible for others to know about her.

Shen Xiaoyi was beginning to rejoice that he was living in a normal family, being able to lead a normal life, enjoy the care and concern his parents brought him, enjoy the blessings from nature, enjoy the warmth between friends, and also enjoy the beauty brought about by love.

"Don't worry, little girl. Big sister will definitely protect you." If someone dares to steal you from us, I'll beat them up for you! " Shen Xiaoyi wiped the corner of his eyes, waved his little fist, and said with righteous indignation.

Shang Zhuocai was also furious at Qian Yun, and said boldly: "Don't worry, they won't let you be a princess. With us, you will definitely be treated like a princess. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll definitely satisfy you! "

Sophia smiled slightly, he pulled up his skirt and tiptoed to give Shang Zhuocai and Shen Xiaoyi the standard European royal etiquette.

"What blood sacrifice are they talking about?" Lin Bai frowned, staring at Sophia as he asked softly.

"Hmm?" Sophia revealed a puzzled look. After thinking carefully for a while, he shook his head and said: "I only heard them talking about this, and that they were speaking in a very obscure manner, I don't understand either!"

"Then, do you know what else they said when they mentioned the Blood Sacrifice? When they talked about blood sacrifices, did they say anything else you didn't understand? "For example, any kind of phase technique or secret technique." Lin Bai reminded as he started to think about what was going on.

Sophia shook his head and said softly: "That's right, they also said something, it seems like there are no treasures in Europe anymore!"

Hearing this, Lin Bai's heart trembled, this matter was indeed related to the theft of the Yang Pingzhi technique. However, the Yang Pingzhi Seal was a magical treasure of China, so what could these Europeans do with it?!

And why did they want to sacrifice Sophia's blood for?! Most Europeans believe in Christianity, in which the sacrifice of Christ, the blood sacrifice of the cross, and the sacrifice of the thanksgiving, are unique sacrifices, because the altar, the offerings, the priests are all the same, but in different ways, that is, the sacrifice of the thanksgiving, in which Christ appears in a bloodless manner in the sacrament of the Gratitude.

Even in the history of China, there were very few cases of people being sacrificed with blood. Hua Xia also called the blood sacrifice "the Great Crimson Sacrifice", which referred to the killing of living people as the sacrifice of gods.

However, according to the information recorded in the Innate Book s in Lin Bai's mind, this kind of Red Sacrifice that could kill human beings was still rare. Even taking the variant form of blood sacrifice — martyrdom as an example, only bones such as cattle and horses have been found in the archaeological excavation of the Tibetan area, but no human and macaque martyrs have been found.

Of course, the possibility of human martyrdom must not be denied, as recorded in the history books of Hanha-Tsang-Tzu, in which the examples of human martyrdom during the period of Zamp were inscribed on the stone of Gumbo.

However, modern civilization has been developing day by day. From the view of modern people, blood sacrifice is very barbaric and backward. Therefore, most of the people in the world stopped the tradition of blood sacrifice and used other methods of sacrifice.

Sophia is a princess of the European royal family, and the European royal family has been around for a long time, and has been trained by the aristocracy to read all those books into the stomach of a dog!" How could he do such a bloody thing?

There must be something strange going on. With so many suspicions appearing now, the scheme of this game of chess in Europe must be huge!

"Lin Bai, what about Sophia?" Shen Xiaoyi asked softly, afraid that Lin Bai would turn back into his heart of stone and refuse this cute girl outside, "Let me tell you, if you don't protect her, then I will protect her. If there is anyone who wants to cause trouble with her, then I will use my life to protect her!"

"Nonsense!" What unlucky words are you saying! " After Lin Bai reprimanded her, she turned to Sophia and said softly, "Think about it again. Ever since you could remember, nothing strange had happened to you.

As soon as Lin Bai finished speaking, the expression on Sophia's face darkened. Seeing her expression, Lin Bai knew that he had said the wrong thing. This little girl had been imprisoned inside the ancient fortress ever since she was born, so how could she possibly meet any outsiders?

"Xiaoyi, bring Sophia back to the hotel first. I'll take a walk around the Beast Fighting Arena, and if anyone comes looking for her, I can ask them why they are forcing a little girl to do so!" Lin Bai was most afraid of women crying the most in his life, even if it was a fourteen year old girl, he could not take it anymore, so he quickly explained to Shen Xiaoyi.

Just as Shen Xiaoyi was about to speak, he saw Lin Bai walking into the Beast Battling Arena without looking back. After a few turns, there was no one left!

"If you say you're leaving, you can leave. You don't even know how to show mercy to the fairer sex!" Shen Xiaoyi looked at the place where Lin Bai's figure disappeared into and frowned.

Sophia's flawless blue eyes swept across the place for a while before he raised his head and stared at Shen Xiaoyi's face and asked softly, "Elder sister, do you like her?"

"What are you talking about?!" Shen Xiaoyi blushed as she squatted down and said softly to the Sophia in front of her.

"You Chinese people are really strange. If you like her, then you like her. What's there to hide from you?" Sophia wrinkled her small nose, put on the air of an old man, and said softly: "Wait for me to grow a little older, I'll definitely get him!"

Shen Xiaoyi was startled when he heard it, and immediately laughed while covering his stomach. This little girl was too cute! Shang Zhuocai, who was at the side, also had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

His master was indeed his master. Not only did he make such a young and beautiful woman like Shen Xiaoyi secretly approve, even the inexperienced Little Princess had said such bold and bold words after seeing him once.
