Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 494 Want to leave a good impression on you?
The night that just passed was long for everyone, whether it was the young girl Wang Quan who just learned the truth of the past, or the outsiders who were rashly involved in the battle of creation, including Nevier who just left the Shiqilia Peninsula and entered a strange environment... It was difficult for them to calm down. Only the cloud whale under his feet was still carefree, following the instructions from his master, and freely swam in the clear blue sky.

The living may have to worry about tomorrow's life, but the whales only need to swim forward. Their simple minds cannot think about such complicated things. So sometimes Yieta would think of the group of whales she had met on the beach, and wonder which sea they were in now, whether they were still playing along the coastline, chasing pedestrians and birds... and so she sincerely developed an emotion called envy.

And a slight sadness.

How shallow is it? Perhaps it is the dew that is gradually evaporated by the morning sun, or the stream that is slowly flooded by the green meadow. It is clearly a very beautiful thing, but if you don’t pay attention, it will disappear in an inconspicuous corner and you can never see it again.

Her sadness came from the story Saint Shallia told her last night - or rather, it was the story told by a sister named Fei'er whom she had never met before. Saint Shallia told the angel lady who was trapped in the windmill tower room and unable to go out at will. She felt extremely complicated after listening to the story, and naturally, she could not sleep well.

However, her sadness is different from that of other people who have heard this story. This is determined by each person's personality and experience. If Saint Charia's sadness comes from her sense of responsibility as a sister and the fate that has been lingering in her memory and entangled with her; and Olvera's sadness comes from her recollection of her lonely but warm childhood in Bemang Country, and her past experience of asking her teacher in the garden about her past life. Then, Iyetta's sadness comes from a feeling that arises in her heart after listening to this story: it is really difficult to live a peaceful life.

In essence, Miss Angel is a person who goes with the flow. Unlike other powerful people, she does not always have higher demands on her circumstances and pursue more enjoyment. That is why she was able to endure the poor environment and harsh climate of Avignon Village.

This kind of character is formed after birth. If you cause various disasters and bring various misfortunes to the local creatures every time you go to a place, and you are a very kind and weak person, then after experiencing this kind of thing many times, you will probably become like Yieta, not seeking the beautiful plots in fairy tales, but just a place willing to accept you and provide you with shelter.

So she loved Avignon, loved the mornings when every villager greeted her with a smile, loved the children playing around her, loved the beauty of primroses blooming in the fields. Now, this love has not faded, but has bred new fruits like a woven fruit tree, that is, her love for the island under her feet.

She liked the snacks that the proprietress Shesta and the bartender Shelia often brought her, liked the laughter of Metien and Shemi playing in the flower fields, liked the figure of Saint Charlia leading the lamb past the windmill tower every evening, liked the scene of Olvera leaning against the wall and chatting with her every night when she went to see the flowers she planted... She often thought that it would be great if this kind of life could continue forever, just like she felt in Avignon Village: it would be great if this kind of life could continue forever.

But the Avignon village later suffered misfortune because of its greed for happiness. After this lesson, Ieta did not dare to show any intention in this regard. She just prayed silently before going to bed every night: I want to be as happy tomorrow as today.

Then, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next month, and preferably next year... until Linger gathers the seven royal powers of the girls and opens the door to the Holy Temple of Heaven. At that time, she will ask the mother who created her to remove the curse on her. As long as there is no curse, she should be able to cross the line a little bit and ask for a little more happiness, right?
Even if it was just a little bit more, she wanted that kind of happiness and firmly believed that she could grasp that kind of happiness. Just as she wrote in her diary, every piece of knowledge and skill about happiness had been memorized on paper and in her heart and would never be forgotten.

But why is it that such a simple wish is always unfulfilled, and such a peaceful life is always broken? And it happens that the ones who broke it are the sisters whom I have never met in person. Even this curse that made me lose my freedom came from them.

Yieta actually couldn't understand what the "great cause" they kept talking about meant, but she thought that with the power of the girl's kingdom, if they could unite, even if they couldn't create a beautiful world, it would be easy to bring people a peaceful and stable life, right?
Some people always set their goals very high, but they don't know that most people in this world actually have very low requirements. When they look up at the moon in the sky, they will naturally ignore the sixpence under their feet. But the moon needs to be chased without stopping, while the sixpence can be picked up as long as you are willing to bend down a little. Thinking of this, Yieta took out her notebook, held the pen, and clumsily but seriously wrote down her new feelings on it: happiness is often within reach, but people often focus on lofty ideals and ignore it.

After she finished writing, she sighed softly again, feeling that although this was a very reasonable statement, it also required them to be willing to listen. Moreover, she could not leave this windmill tower room and tell them this truth in person. So, she was probably making a futile effort.

She was feeling a little depressed again. She sat on the bed, leaning against the wall, and was in a daze. She unconsciously wrapped herself with six soft white wings, revealing only a bewildered face and a pair of stunned and melancholy eyes. This was a habit she gradually developed over the years of loneliness, or a self-protection action. Only by hiding herself under the protection of the wings could she gain a little sense of security. These feathers were once covered with dust for a long time, and later they were cleaned by the traveler fairies and regained their former purity and cleanliness. Only the girl's heart never walked out of the haze and dust of memory.

The earth has indeed flown into the sky, but from now on, where should it fly to?
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside. Ieta was disturbed. She looked up through the window and saw Alice running past the flower field with Metien and Leticia. She was shouting that she wanted to show Leticia the way and familiarize her with her new home. She didn't see Shemi. She was probably helping out at the hotel.

Alice also noticed Ieta by the window, so she waved happily and greeted her. Metien stood aside, whispering with her friends. As she spoke, Leticia cast a curious look over here. Ieta could feel her eyes lingering on her face several times. It was obvious that after hearing Metien say that they were both young queens, she became very interested in this angel lady with long white hair and noble wings.

She fell asleep last night, so Yieta didn't talk to her. Strictly speaking, this was the first time the two sisters who had lost their memories had met. Yieta naturally wanted to leave a good impression on her, so although she was a little depressed, she subconsciously squeezed out a friendly smile. On her chubby cheeks, two dimples set off the sweet and lovely temperament of the angel by the window.

Leticia was stunned for a moment, then looked away somewhat unnaturally. She didn't smile, perhaps because she was not used to it, but just nodded slightly, as a greeting. This attitude was neither intimate nor cold, at most, she was just treating an ordinary friend.

It’s okay, everyone starts out like this.

Yieta couldn't help but think that everything would get better soon.

after all.

They are sisters.
