The female devils I saved came to my door

They could only bite the bullet and follow Ciel's previous instructions and teachings to find ways to support the situation.

Although they are on opposite sides of the continent and somewhat alienated from each other, all they can rely on at this time is each other's help.

During this time, the sisters had to hug each other for warmth.

Lovna received priests and knights sent by Sirna as advisors, and Sirna also received manpower and materials provided by Lovna.

This period is what the history books call the period of co-rule of the two emperors of the Ipoli Empire.

The two empresses, who have not yet been officially crowned emperors, are on the east and west sides of the continent, walking on thin ice in the future capital of the empire on the road to power.

The fragile covenant and vague faith maintain the relationship between the two sisters and support them to move forward.

Perhaps, as long as he does what the teacher told him before leaving, Ciel will come back.

Should be?

As long as they manage their respective forces well, as long as they can become outstanding rulers worthy of praise, as long as they take good care of Ciel's heirs and let those children grow up healthy... he will come back.

Time passed day by day.

Sirna, who is located in Glory City, after weighing it again and again, against all opinions, chose to give up her claim to be "the only spokesperson of Heavenly Father", and tried her best to transform the Holy See, an old and corrupt theocratic system, into one that emphasizes academic inheritance and magic. Educational secular political entity.

The internal resistance she encountered was not particularly great, because during his tenure, St. Ann IV had completed the centralization of power and purged all opponents.The crooked landing was convenient for Sirna.

Sirna herself never dared to officially take over the title of "Pope" and only regarded herself as the "acting manager of Glory City".

This was done on the one hand because after the death of St. Ann IV, the Holy See no longer had the authority to control churches in various places and unify the divine authority.On the other hand, it was because of the lessons learned from St. Ann IV that gave Hilna lingering fear.

She did not want to become the same person as the Pope, and she did not want to deceive believers in the name of God the Father.

She hopes to follow other paths.

And the seven Shire heirs under her care were adopted by her as adopted children.

When they grew up, they also became Sirna's reliable right-hand men.

Among them, the eldest child, the boy named Emil, is the most mature and steady in his actions.When Sirna first met these children, he was the first to express kindness to Sirna, and he was the one who chose to trust Sirna unconditionally.

Like Sharlanna, he is a reliable eldest brother to the other siblings.

He will do his best to deal with the tasks assigned by Sirna. He is a serious and somewhat stubborn person.

Although he was just a mortal without magical talent after losing the power of the Netherworld, he was still grateful for the new life he had.

The knights and priests who were loyal to Sirna kept in mind the oath that Ciel made them swear and kept the true identity of these heirs secret.

On the other side of the continent, in the distant Ipoli, Lovna also experienced many difficulties and challenges.

In the past, she would not feel afraid even if she encountered riots, invasion by foreign enemies, or internal affairs problems that she could not solve.

After all, she has seven powerful children by her side, as well as Ciel to rely on.

However, Charles's departure that day announced that she had to shoulder the responsibility on her own.

Sharlanna told her: "My father used some unknown method to seal the power of the seven of them. Therefore, they can no longer summon those creatures from the underworld for their own use."

She can only rely on patience and exploration to solve problems in an empire full of hidden dangers.Sharlanna can only be her helper, and the real difficulties can only be shouldered by herself.

Compared to her sister, she does not have such a strong magical talent. She only has the political framework and political advice given to her by Teacher Charles.

Therefore, the two sisters made the same choice by chance - just as Ciel said, use perfect education to replace faith as the link of inheritance, use magic to improve life, create brand new things, and change the world.

Let the knowledge that is monopolized by the Holy See and only provided to the children of the nobles become public wealth, so that all talented people can get the opportunity to learn.

The encyclopedia of spells compiled using the massive magic books collected in the Holy See will be published publicly.

The magic academy renovated from the Glory City Theological Seminary will also begin to recruit mages from all over the world equally, regardless of origin.

The Ipoli Empire in the east has also cleared away the resisting nobles from various places in successive years of battles.She will establish a compulsory education system at all costs so that common people can also obtain the knowledge monopolized by the nobles.

Time goes on.

Around Sirna, the knights and priests who knew the truth about the deaths of Saint Ann IV and Monroe gradually grew older.

In the past, those miracles that once caused a sensation have gradually been forgotten by people.

The Eternal Holy See, which was undergoing transformation, gradually gained a firm foothold.Neighboring countries no longer question Sirna's authority, but recognize her status.

In the Holy City, the first generation of mages trained by the newly opened public magic academy left the campus and traveled to various parts of the continent.Parishes in various places also re-affiliated themselves to Glory City and accepted Sirna's leadership.

The Eternal Holy Church, which once only wanted to maintain its divine power and consolidate its rule, is changing in the direction of Sirna's efforts.

And Lovna's empire also struggled to survive those riots and rebellions.Although Sharlanna and other children have lost their power, they are still reliable helpers for Lovna.

A national identity based on Ipoli began to be truly established on the conquered lands.

The once loose and chaotic countries in the eastern part of the continent finally showed signs of true unification.

Later, Ciel's children also grew up.

Emil even met a female magician whom he fell in love with. After a long period of running-in, the two finally came together and had several children.The cries of those babies after birth announced that Ciel was a grandfather with grandchildren.

However, Ciel still hasn't appeared yet.

The relationship between Sirna's sister Lovna and her has also become less and less.

Lovna's body began to fall ill, and her body became weaker and weaker. Due to the sword wounds left by the battles, she was likely to die soon.

But Sirna didn't age.

On the day when Saint Ann IV summoned the soul of his dead daughter, Catherine's soul did not respond to her mother's call, but awakened Sirna with powerful underworld power.

This also allowed her to live a lifespan that ordinary people could not imagine.Her appearance was almost frozen at that moment, and she never aged again.

Ciel's children are growing up day by day, and even have slight wrinkles on their faces.The city of glory led by Sirna also seems to be thriving.

Only she herself has stayed in the time before Charles left.

Perhaps, Teacher Charles really left, just like when he first arrived in Ipoli and appeared in Sirna's life, he appeared suddenly and left silently.

But she still didn't want to give up.He won't disappear for no reason, he must still be alive.

So, deep underground in Glory City, where St. Ann IV once imprisoned the seven children of Charles, Sirna used elemental magic to build a mausoleum for herself to sleep in.

"Emile, I have lived long enough." She summoned her seven children and said to the eldest son: "I have tried my best to do everything that Teacher Charles expected to do to the best of my ability... …and you’ve all grown up.

"Actually, I have always felt guilty towards you. After all, you are the ones who deserve eternal life, but I deprived you of your power.

"I should have accepted death without regrets, but I am not willing to do so. I still don't want to give up the meager possibility... I want to see your father again, and I want to know why he left me.

"Besides, I don't want to see you grow old like this. I am a coward, so... let me sleep.

"I will fall into a deep sleep, and then feel the traces of Teacher Charles in my dream. I want to see him again, and I want to know whether I have failed him or let him down. He must still be alive, and he will not be like this Leaving us. Even if it takes 1000 years to search, I will not give up.

"I have already made all the preparations that need to be made. Tomorrow, I will announce my death to the public. I hope that when I wake up again, I can meet Teacher Charles again and get his answer.

"Emil, I will leave Glory City to you. Don't worry, you don't have to wait until Teacher Charles appears again. I will wake up when everyone needs me."

After a moment of silence, her children agreed to her request.

So, Sirna fell into a deep sleep in the underground mausoleum.

After her death, Glory City was also remembered by people in the name of Sirnarea through the word of mouth of countless mages.

…………

And in Ipoli, lying on the hospital bed in the palace, the already aging Lovna combed her long, haggard hair, looked at the wrinkles in the mirror, and just smiled bitterly.

In the end, the teacher who promised to be with her after she achieved her career never showed up again.

What she now feels even more regretful is that Sharlanna, who was both her partner and daughter, and her brothers and sisters, were deprived of their lifespan because of their father, who could have lived forever.

Although Sharlanna and the others didn't mind this at all, believing that their father's arrangement must have deep meaning, and that the strength and longevity obtained by killing were of no value, Lovna still cared about it.

"Maybe I should be angry with Teacher Charles. He gave me expectations. As long as I have memories, I can't live without him. He also agreed to be with me after I accomplish something great. But I’ve waited so long and still haven’t waited for him... But I can’t hate him anyway, I still love him.”

"If I really see him again, I might lose my temper like I did when I was a child and yell at him. Maybe I will be so angry that I will stab him with a knife..."

He must still be alive, somewhere.It’s just that it’s hard to see him again.

She looked at Sharlanna, who was now mature and stable, and knew that after her death, she would be reliable and continue to lead the empire and continue to advance towards the goals envisioned by Sharl.

She still hopes that when Teacher Charles comes back one day, she can return the power of these children to them.

After her death, Sharlanna, as her successor, formally unified the territories she occupied during her lifetime and became the true empress of the East Ipolitan Empire.

Traces of Ciel's existence were gradually erased until there was no trace of her father's existence in history.

However, decades later, Lovna, who was supposed to be sleeping in the tomb, woke up.

She pushed open the loose coffin in surprise and stood in the empty tomb, looking at her smooth and bright skin and feeling the power filling her body.I wonder if I am in the realm of death or the mortal world.

Finally, she noticed a handwritten letter placed in the coffin - it was left to her by Sharlana.

"Sister Lovna, my father has not really deprived us of all our power. The remaining power of the underworld among the seven of us is enough to give you, sister Lovna, a life span of more than a thousand years.

"Before you passed away, we used the method our father taught us to strip away this power and gave it to you, giving you a life that can last for thousands of years.

"You don't have to worry about this netherworld power eroding your mind, we have already borne the price of killing.

"Sorry for not telling you in person, because we didn't want you to see us grow old with your own eyes, and we didn't want you to feel guilty because of our passing. So, we took it upon ourselves to let you sleep for a while.

"When you wake up, we should be dead. I hope you can continue to protect our empire and wait for the day when you can reunite with your father.

"Don't be afraid of facing the future alone. Ms. Sirna will always be here. You will not feel lonely."

When Lovna read the letter, she realized that she was in the imperial mausoleum in the city that was renamed "Lovnania".

The coffins of her seven children are in the tomb not far away.Sharlana's portrait was looking at her with a smile.

…………

The two queens have lived like this until now.With the expectation of seeing Ciel again, with the emotion that lasted a long time, and with a love as strong as hate, they searched for him for a long time.

Finally, on that day, they noticed the aura coming from the remote island in the far northwest, and found the person they had been searching for for thousands of years.

160.5 Reconciliation

After nearly a hundred years of slumber, Sirna still did not perceive Ciel in her dreams.

But she still woke up.

The situation in the Western Continent has undergone many changes during her long sleep.

In the past, the Holy See had officially transformed into an imperial country under the reforms of the Emir.She became the first empress of the empire.The Glory City, which was renamed "Sirnaria", still stands tall on the vast and fertile peninsula.

The magical knowledge that was no longer monopolized by the church and the powerful spread through the academy she founded. Although it caused a lot of chaos and impact, it also promoted changes in the world.

The succession of violent killings and peace caused those ancient nobles and their power to gradually decline and decline.New powers are rising.

The kingdoms of the past were divided and merged, the countries of the past expanded and declined, the cities that were first built prospered and declined, everything is changing.But her empire endured and grew.

Of course, it's not just her country.

In the far east, the empire belonging to her sister was still prosperous.It’s just that things have changed.

In the past, Sher Lana, who had some friendship with Sirna, has also passed away in her long life.

After Lovna's death, the successor queen also experienced a long life. She inherited the expectations of her father and Lovna, shouldered more responsibilities during her tenure, and lived up to expectations and became a great person.

The descendants of her and her brothers and sisters still rule the eastern empire and continue to expand its territory.

This is good, but there is no one Xierna knows in the mortal world.

Hiding her figure and wandering alone in the mortal world, Sirna felt a little desperate.

There are no miracles in a long life.Charles did not appear, and she seemed destined to face eternal loneliness in the future.

She began to regret, and she felt as if she understood why Ciel abandoned her - she had gained power that was not hers, had a longevity that she should not have had, and almost became the opportunity for Saint Ann IV to destroy the world.

The loneliness at this time is my own punishment. This is the ending I deserve: after losing all my family, friends and lovers, facing a strange world alone, and then dying.

However, in a daze, she felt something. Her relatives with the same bloodline as her seemed to still exist in this world.

Who is the one?Who can survive till now?

Looking for the vague guidance of numerology, she traveled across half of the continent and found a swampland far away from human habitation in the East Ipoli Empire.

A small island was built in the swamp. The island is full of flowers of various colors. A tall wall surrounds the island like a fortress, and a lush giant tree grows on the island, with lush flowers. The tree crown serves as a canopy, blocking out the dazzling sunlight.

Islands, walls and tree crowns form a somewhat strange cabin.

After seeing this nondescript but somewhat familiar cabin, Sirna's heart skipped a beat.
