She stepped on the lake in the marsh and slowly walked onto the island.Reciting a mantra softly, he floated up into the air, pushed aside the dense branches and leaves, and saw his family lying in the tree house.
Lovna, she is as young, bright and beautiful as she was when she was a girl. She is lying under the tree and sleeping soundly. The golden light spots shining through the dense canopy are dotted on her disheveled red hair, as if she is luxurious. headgear.
Although the scabbard of the short knife on her waist was a little rusty, Hilna could still recognize its shape at a glance - it was a gift given to Lovna by the former teacher Charles.
There were also several yellowed fairy tale picture books scattered around her.
"...Sister? Sister!"
She didn't know whether she should be surprised, shocked or delighted, but anyway, she shouted out.
Lovna, who was sleeping soundly, slowly opened her eyes.
Thanks to the efforts of Sharlanna and seven other children, after waking up from a long sleep that should have passed away, Lovna gained a long life and powerful magical power.
But looking at the world that was already very different, Lovna felt fear and alienation.
Even the emperor who rules the empire can still see the characteristics of Teacher Charles in his voice and appearance, but Lovna still feels that they are very strange.
What used to be Ipoli, and even most of the Hessende region, has become a bustling and lively urban area in Lovnania.
The forests of the past have long since disappeared, dense houses have been built in the wilderness, and the swamps have been filled in. Even the wooden house where she grew up in her childhood was solemnly dismantled and placed in the luxurious and solemn Royal Museum.
The experience with Ciel has also been erased. Although the prosperous capital "Lovnania" is named after her, it still cannot give her comfort - if there is no familiar person to show off to , sharing this so-called glory, these changes will only make her feel bored.
Deep down, she is still just the girl who played carefree in the suburbs of Ipoli.
After she woke up, she pushed the coffin and stood up, which shocked the East Ipoli royal family in Lovnaniya City.
The news of the resurrection of the first queen almost caused a storm.
Therefore, for the sake of purity, Lovna avoided those troubles, quietly left the prosperous imperial capital, and began to travel aimlessly around the world.
She deliberately avoided crowded and noisy places and roamed alone in the vast empire.
She kept thinking: Why did Sharlanna and the others give her longevity and magical power?Did she really think that Lovna could wait until Charles appeared and reunite with him?It's been so long and he still hasn't appeared, so there shouldn't be any more miracles.Should we continue to endure loneliness and wait?
On this day, when she was passing by this swamp, she suddenly remembered the opportunity when she first met Teacher Charles a long time ago - her estranged sister Hilna, who had escaped from her mother when she was young. After being beaten, he hid in the swamp on the edge of Ipoli, where he performed magical magic and created a miraculous hut.
She was very envious of her sister's magical power, but she had never been able to possess her sister's talent.
However, now Lovna also has magic, which is a gift from Sharlanna and the others.
Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.Just like Sirna in her memory, she slowly walked into this peaceful swamp and recited a self-taught spell, causing the hardened land to float out of the lake, bright flowers covering the island, and giant trees and walls rising from the ground. And rise.
Just like in his memory, he was lying on the flowery grass, flipping through the fairy tale picture books he had collected, until tiredness came over him.
After falling into a deep sleep, when she opened her eyes again, Sirna was standing in front of her.
After waking up, Lovna looked at her sister blankly. After realizing that this was not a dream, she planned to say hello, but she didn't know what to say.
"We...are all still alive."
"Yes."
…………
"We were once close sisters, but because of our feelings for Teacher Charles, we gradually developed a rift, and we grew tired of and hated each other.
"Because of Teacher Charles, we had to choose reconciliation. But we still retain our dissatisfaction and jealousy towards each other.
"We are all envious and jealous of what the other has, whether it is magic talent, selfless maternal love and family affection, career, or Teacher Charles's approval...
“Until the end, we longed to see Charles again, so we experienced a long sleep, and after waking up, we met again in this secluded place with no one.
"We are no different at this time. We have all become remembered history, posthumous queens. We all possess powerful magical power and a long lifespan that should not belong to us.
"We all said goodbye to our children, and we are all waiting for Ciel.
"At this time, we are no longer jealous and alienated from each other."
…………
However, the concerns and grudges still exist.
The two of them made a tacit agreement not to mention what happened back then. Even if Lovna had heard a little bit about the rumored Miss Katrin, she didn't ask any more questions;
Sirna vaguely guessed the reason why Lovna obtained magical power, but she didn't ask any more questions.
"Are you looking for Teacher Charles?"
"Yes." Lovna nodded: "You too?"
"Yeah." Sirna added: "I think he will come back. I can feel it. He won't say goodbye to us like this. Maybe he is testing us, testing who of us can keep him. The task is done well... When we build the kingdom he envisioned and make good use of the knowledge he taught us, he will come out and give us a surprise..."
"That's true...but for leaving us alone for so long, I will definitely get angry when I see him. If he runs away again, I will put a knife on his neck and force him to stay. "
"You must do this at that time. If it were me, I would have burst into tears when I saw him and couldn't lift the knife at all."
"……Um."
"By the way, sister... Actually, the book "The Great Adventure of Saint Lovna" has been in the warehouse of Glory City. At that time, after you were imprisoned as a witch, the book has been collected by the Holy See. I I know that the devil created the book to deceive you, but I learned from Mr. Charles and changed the ending. 100 years ago, I originally planned to give it to you as a national gift. But by that time, you had already I'll keep it until I get sick. Do you still want it?"
"That book...you changed the ending?"
"Well... I changed the ending to 'The great saint returned to her hometown and established a powerful empire. She waited for the destined person and gained happiness'. Just like that, an ordinary completion Ending. I’m not Mr. Charles, so I can’t think of so many weird ways to end the story.”
"It's okay, I like it very much."
"Then I will go back to Glory City and look for it. When the time comes, I will send the book to Lovnaniya."
"Thank you."
…………
The two chatted for a long time.
After knowing each other's existence, they felt a lot more relieved.
Although Lovna acted as if she was a little cold towards her sister, and Hilna didn't express too much enthusiasm towards her sister, it didn't matter.They had the patience to continue waiting.
161.The price of changing your destiny
Since then, the two sisters have persisted.
Over the course of thousands of years, when they are extremely tired, they will fall into a long sleep. When they are inspired again, they will wake up and continue to search and wait.
Their respective empires have experienced countless turmoils and vicissitudes over the long years, and various conflicts and crises have broken out.
At this time, they will try their best to help their respective empires overcome the difficulties.
Sometimes, they fight, get angry, fight and confront each other.This subtle relationship between enemies and friends lasted for a long time and brought some changes in their long lives.
Until many years ago, Sirna sensed some traces in the unpredictable numerology.
On that sea far away from the mainland, there is an isolated castle, and there seems to be someone waiting for her there.
Although a long time passed, she could still intuitively feel that it was her teacher.
Lovna also felt it belatedly.
Finally, they found the guy on that isolated island.
So, their story started again after a thousand years.
"Teacher, please tell me the reason why you left me." At this time, Sirna wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, allowing her dark blue eyes to see the person in front of her clearly.She tried to stay calm, not wanting Ciel to notice her trembling: "...I have reflected on myself countless times during this long time.
"I know you must have been disappointed in me before you left.
“I shouldn’t do those behaviors that crave power and abandon morality because of those twisted desires for possession.
"I am also ashamed of the many disasters caused by arrogance, conceit and arbitrary judgment.
"If I had been honest with you and told you about the existence of Emil and his seven children, then the tragedy of the Pope and his wife might have been avoided. I would not have been the one who robbed them of their strength and deprived them of their longevity. The culprit.
"The deaths of Pope St. Ann and His Excellency Monroe have also served as a warning to me. I have always taken them as a warning and never want to follow the path of self-destruction like that pope.
"Now, you have seen with your own eyes the completely different glorious city in front of you. I have been guarding this city for thousands of years and want to build it as beautiful as the fairy tale you described.
"Teacher... I have really thought about everything we have experienced in the past. If you have ever been disappointed with me, I hope you can forgive me. Let me have the qualification to love you - just like Katrin. "
Lovna was also on the side, looking at Charles with a subtle expression, waiting for his explanation.
Only Wuming, as an outsider, felt that the atmosphere was very depressing.She felt that she was an outsider that had nothing to do with Ciel's past. Faced with this kind of thing, she would just freeze in place with both nervousness and anticipation.
"I have never blamed you, Sirna, and I have never been disappointed in you."
After listening to Sirna's plea quietly, her teacher replied seriously: "Never. My departure was just a choice I made to escape the arrangements of the system and the manipulation of fate. .
"I didn't really leave you at that time."
————Choice————
Thousands of years ago, at the top of the only standing bell tower above the ruins of the Glow Cathedral, the moment Charles inserted his sword into the back of St. Ann IV, he recalled the first time he and Catherine met.
At that time, in the eyes of the stupid girl who had not yet regained consciousness, he saw countless visions of the future.Among them is a scene where he hangs the body of an old man on a high tower and then rings a huge bell to welcome the battle.
This situation became a reality, truly realized.
This made him a little unbelievable - his fate seemed to have been predestined, and he was just a puppet who completed everything step by step under the control of a powerful unknown force.
When he drew out his long sword, the pope with his blond hair and fluttering white wings staggered a few steps, clutching the wounds on his chest that were constantly flowing with blood, and slowly turned around.
Sanity returned to her eyes.
When facing Ciel, she did not express any resentment, but slowly turned her head, widened her emerald green eyes, and took one last look at Ciel.Then, her wings scattered into white feathers all over the ground, like thick snow.
And in her eyes before she died, countless visions of the future appeared one after another. Charles saw the future in her emerald green eyes - a future that made him extremely resistant:
He saw that the conflicts between Silna and Lovna continued to increase, and their alienation, hatred and jealousy continued to grow in them.
Sirna, who inherited the Holy See's dominance, became paranoid and crazy in loneliness and self-blame after taking charge of Glory City;
In order to consolidate the status and power of the aging Lovna, with her acquiescence, Sharlanna and others were gradually swallowed up by power...
The old structure of the continent was broken, and the empire they created would also create a new history amidst struggles and conflicts.
Their feelings for Ciel instead led to their distortion and radicalization, and the responsibilities they shouldered, the countries they commanded, and the interests involved would continue to erode their spirits.
Ciel, who is unable to take into account both parties, shows kindness to any one of them, which will make the other person feel fear and panic, aggravating the alienation of the other person.
Even, until the end, there must be a queen who will lose herself and embark on the path of self-destruction.And the other person cannot be happy, and will only be a crazy female devil.
Why is this happening?
The two corpses in front of him were a warning to him.
Pope St. Ann, she was supposed to love her teacher. For the sake of her husband, she could abandon the precepts and doctrines. Even if Monroe was a synthetic man made by heretics, she would love him unconditionally and give birth to his offspring. Even if those cursed children only brought her sorrow and pain, she would not give up.
But in the end, this emotion was twisted into paranoid obsession, leading to the current tragedy.
…………
"Ciel, congratulations, you have almost completed the mission."
At this time, the voice of the system sounded in his mind: "There are no enemies who can hinder the future queen. The students you love are about to begin their era. Help Sirna stabilize the situation of the Holy See. The Holy City is Hers. Your mission will be accomplished."
Ciel: "This is completely different from what I expected at the beginning... After you brought me into this world, I thought I would be a savior, a person who changes the world and brings about beautiful changes - but why, assist Will the mission of the 'Great Queen' be realized in this way? Why is the future I see like that?"
Looking at the bodies of the Pope and his wife in front of him, he felt that the whole experience was like a dream.
Questioning and resentment towards the system are also getting stronger:
"Why have you been deliberately misleading me? Are all my actions what you expected? Why didn't you tell me everything from the beginning? Why did you deliberately hide the fact that both Hilna and Lovna are queens? ?How on earth did I get to this point?"
System: "Because everything must be your choice. Destiny is like this. Only decisions made from true feelings can truly promote destiny.
"Only if you truly show your true love for those two girls and create an inseparable bond in their companionship, only if you devote yourself to them wholeheartedly, and become everything in their lives like a father, teacher, and lover, will they be helpless. Love you with all my heart.
"They will fight for you, leave their hometown and start adventures for you, change themselves for you... and achieve their careers for you. You are not only the teacher who helps them, you are the strongest force to push them forward. Motivation is also the bottom line that binds them.”
Looking back on the past, it all started because of his choices.
He traveled through time and came to Yalan, where he met Lovna and Sirna;
His careful teaching of his two children;
After the Paladin arrived in Ipoli, he chose to take Sirna to the Capital of Glory;
The acquaintance between Lovna and the devil who was abandoned by him;
His first meeting with Katrine;
Sirna is determined to become the Pope's goon;
Because of the changes he brought about, Saint Ann IV first came up with the crazy idea of using the power of the underworld to complete his plan;
