People are at the junction, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Since Brother Wolf said so, he didn't mean to shirk the blame. He turned back to the room to put on the replacement Kalia Knight armor and followed Blaze.

But his eyes always fell on the royal sword that Brother Lang was carrying.

If his memory was correct, it seemed that Brother Wolf would carry this royal sword wherever he went. It was like renting it for 40 runes a day and carrying it with him wherever he went.

According to Blazer's words -

This is proof of loyalty to Lani.

Following Blaze's footsteps, he was taken out of the Kaliya Walled City and arrived at a nearby inconspicuous rocky mountain.

The wind is strong and noisy, but the scenery is beautiful. On the right side are cliffs intertwined with lush green forests, and below the cliffs is the endless sea as far as the eye can see.

On the left is the shore of Lake Lienia, and you can even clearly see the magnificent castle of Rhea Lucalia Magic Academy built on a raised mountain from here.

On the rocky mountain in front, there was a beautiful girl sitting. Her fiery red wavy hair was blown by the breeze, her wide hat brim was rippling slightly, and the seemingly heavy fur cloak on her body was also slowly swaying.

Just as he was dazed, Blaze had already jumped off the rock without saying a word, and turned around and walked towards the walled city not far away.

Seeing this, Reinhard couldn't help but slowly raise a few question marks.

what does it mean?

Just leave him and run away?

"You came."

As if aware of Reinhard's arrival, Lani, who was sitting on the edge of the rock admiring the scenery in the distance, suddenly said.

But her head never turned around.

"See Your Highness Lani." Reinhard instinctively knelt down on one knee and performed the knight's salute.

"No need to be formal, come and sit."

The girl moved her body slightly and patted the vacated space.

"Then... my subordinate overstepped my bounds."

Reinhard didn't mean to be polite at all. He stood up and walked forward, sat next to Lani, and looked at the scenery in the distance together.

"Reinhardt, what do you think of the scenery here?"

"It's beautiful."

Looking at the Lieniya Lake in the distance, he could even see those people who were still working hard even though it was almost night, and he nodded seriously.

"right."

His answer made Lani smile slightly.

She has a beautiful smile.

Holding the rock with both hands, the calf hanging in the air wavered slightly.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the girl today is different from the past. It seems that her majesty has faded away, leaving only the innocence that she should have at her age.

And he seemed very happy.

"In the past, Lakad, Latarn, and I...the generals often came here. When I was little, they used to take me sneaking out of the walled city to see the scenery here."

Sitting on the rock, Lani seemed to be integrated with the light cast by the full moon behind her, but when she talked about Latarn, her expression became a little disappointed and her tone became sad.

It is completely different from the witch Lani seen in the game, who is as lonely as a dark moon and always has a smile that keeps strangers away.

"Look, how beautiful this starry sky is... Even though it can no longer flow, its light is always there, always protecting this land."

Lani pointed to the bright starry sky above their heads and said happily, faintly revealing the slightest sense of happiness.

It seems that I am reminiscing about the happy time in the past.

She was indeed very happy at that time.

He is younger than he is now and doesn't understand anything. He follows his second brother Rakad and his eldest brother Latarn around every day without any worries, and Blaze is also by his side.

When he was tired of playing, his mother Lenara's arms opened to him.

Occasionally, you can also learn magic from your own teacher, the Snow Witch.

But as I continue to grow older, I gradually feel that everything has changed, as if the passage of time has changed everything.

His parents were no longer as happy as he remembered, and his father Ladagan was running away every now and then, only to come back once in a while.

But every time he came back, he kept a serious face.

The god of the golden tree, the Eternal Queen Malika, seemed to separate the three brothers and sisters in order to show her kindness.

The second brother Rakad was assigned to Miguel Volcano and built a volcano mansion to serve as a judge for judging criminals.

The eldest brother, Latarn, seems to have been assigned to the frontier Galid to protect the land because he admired the power of the first king Godfrey, and to conquer all forces that did not obey the golden law, so that everything in the border area was collected in gold. under the name.

As for herself, because of her identity as a god-man, she stayed in Caria. As a candidate for the gods, she also became the successor of the Queen of Caria.

Every time she thought of this, Lani felt a little emotional.

Such a noble status and a predetermined life are not what she wants. What she wants is the carefree freedom.

However, all this seems difficult to achieve.

At least the Ring of Elden is still there, the Golden Law is still there, and the Everqueen is still there, so it can't be realized.

Lani couldn't help but have a look of loss on her face.

And Reinhardt was looking at Lani's slightly childish side face from beginning to end, watching her expression keep changing until the girl discovered it.

"What do you think I'm doing? Isn't this scenery beautiful?" Lani tilted her head slightly and asked doubtfully.

"No." Reinhard shook his head and replied: "Both the starry sky above our heads and Lienia are very beautiful, but their beauty cannot compare with your beauty, Your Highness Lani. It is like sweet wine. I can't help but Makes you want to sink into it.”

This sentence was blurted out completely subconsciously, without going through the brain at all.

He didn't know what was going on with him, he just wanted to say this.

But after saying that, I felt something was wrong, so I quickly added: "But the most important thing is that I feel that Her Highness Lani today is different from the past. She no longer pays attention to majesty, and is so aloof, but becomes real."

"...yes?"

Lani simply replied, then fell into silence.

This silence made Reinhardt feel that he had said something wrong. Maybe he really shouldn't have said those words before...

Just as he was thinking about how to explain, the girl who had remained silent suddenly spoke:

"From now on, please call me Lani in private, and don't add the title of Your Highness... Well, I just think that such a title always makes me feel like you are teasing me."

As if to emphasize something, I also explained it specially.

As expected of the arrogant Highness Lani.

"Yes, Your Highness Lani.

Okay, Your Highness Lani.

No problem, Your Highness Lani. "

"..."

This time, His Highness made the girl turn her head expressionlessly, "...Reinhardt, do you want to embarrass me?"

"Of course I want to, I really want to!"

He wanted to answer like this, but he swallowed it back under the attack of the other party's eyes. He changed to a righteous look and said perfunctorily: "How is it possible? Your great Highness Lani is the one I swear to be loyal to forever."

"...Oh, that's great, my dear knight - Reinhardt."

Lani glanced at him with disgust, turned back to look at the scenery ahead, and whispered:

"...But I still want to thank you for helping me protect Kalia and this memory.

If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't have won this war so easily. "

Lani's voice was very soft, like the flickering candlelight, which could be covered by the sea breeze blowing at any time, but it was also very sincere, so sincere that it made people wonder whether this person was still the majestic princess she usually was.

"This is what I should do, Your Highness...Oh no, Lani."

After being stared at by this petite witch, he quickly changed his tune.

But after he finished speaking, he changed his words: "But this time, I want some rewards. I hope I can take Tops to Kalia's study for further study, and let Mr. Iggy build me a weapon of my own."

The former was one of the purposes of his coming to Calia. Since Biddy hadn't been found yet, he should go to Calia's study first. Anyway, there was no rush to kill that old guy Servais right now.

As for the latter, there is really no way.

The ceremonial ax was okay and quite handy, but the Kallia Knight Sword was too small after he awakened the power of the sun. It was like a toothpick dagger and was uncomfortable to use.

"Well... no problem, it seems you are ready."

Lani agreed to his request, but wondered: "But why did you bring Tops with you... Is it because you want to complete his magic?"

"You actually know?!" Reinhardt suddenly exclaimed.

Regarding his surprise, Lani just smiled slightly.

Although she usually stayed in her magic tower, she still knew exactly what was happening in the Kaliya Walled City.

The man brought along by Reinhard - Tops, his magic is indeed interesting and does not belong to any of the existing magic systems.

More interesting than the magic developed by Knight Loretta alone, it seems to have magic that can reverse the power of gods.

If it could be done, she even wanted to make this man a professor of magic serving the Kaliya royal family.

But that’s all for later.

The world is still uncertain, everything is still unknown.

Then, Lani slightly raised her wide witch hat and looked at the bright starry sky, and then looked at the golden tree that had gathered its light. Her star-like eyes were full of wisdom.

"Reinhardt, what do you think of Lienia now, the current border area?"

"Of course I'll just lie down and watch."

This was what he was thinking, but he couldn't say it like this. After sorting out the poor words in his mind, he gave a very standard answer.

"The stormy time."

"Oh?"

This answer surprised Lani slightly. She turned her head to look at him, as if she saw something on his face. She turned her head back and murmured in a low voice: "...Really?"
