"So...teacher, you are actually here all the time?"
Ciel: "Before you two publicly announced your 'death', during the decades when your rule was not stable, until I left the Western Continent and went to the East. I have always been there."
The two queens' thoughts were drawn back to the past thousands of years ago.Indeed, in the years after Ciel left, their respective empires survived many critical moments by chance.
The group of nobles who intended to counterattack died in internal strife for unknown reasons;
The assassin who assassinated the Queen was killed by a knight whose identity was a mystery;
The newly established magic academy suddenly received a huge number of ancient magic books as a gift;
The upcoming border conflict has been warned in advance...
These were all secretly assisted by Ciel.However, his efforts were all hidden in the dark, and he used more secretive means to quietly eliminate hidden dangers for the two students.
Even the few traces noticed by the two of them were lost in the changes of decades.So much so that they only dimly felt Charles's existence subconsciously, and they firmly believed that he had not left.
After Ciel told them the truth about all this, relief, emotion, regret, loneliness...all kinds of emotions flowed in the eyes of the two queens like the four seasons.
"I'm sorry... I once thought that when you take off the burden of being the queen, the situation of the empire is truly stabilized by us, my children take over the authority and responsibility, and the fate imposed on you is truly reversed. You two Sisters, we will also let go of our prejudices against each other, recognize each other's achievements, and no longer be jealous and resentful of each other. I will come to see you again then."
They will realize that everything they do is not just to please Ciel, but also for themselves and each other.
They will get back together, let go of past grudges, and face their teacher calmly.
Ciel himself will also let go of those constraints, accept their feelings for him, and tell them that he loves them too.
However, when Ciel was freed from the long struggle given by fate, the time it took was far longer than he had ever estimated.
Lovna and Silna, in this long time, even excluding the time when the two were sleeping, they have experienced hundreds of years.
Not to mention Shar Lanna, Emil...the children who once had a blood relationship with Shar have long since become history.
Charles could no longer witness the growth of his children as a father.It is even more impossible for him to protect this eldest daughter who has fulfilled her duties until the end of her life, as Sharlanna expected.
After experiencing changes far beyond his expectations, Charles, who had been looking forward to reuniting with the two students, also fell into confusion.
He didn't know if he was qualified to see his two former students again.He didn't know if he was still qualified to respond to other people's emotions after going through all that.
However, the underworld power of those children still protected the two queens through the long night.Once, the demon gave the fourteen sons of the Netherworld the power of the Netherworld to cause riots and death. In the end, it became a gift to the two queens.
After all, these children are still the descendants of Ciel, and they have not been devoured and corrupted by power.
The empire they built and sustained still stands.
Lovna and Silna's love for him has not extinguished even in this long time, and is still burning brightly.
So, finally in this future, the three teachers and students reunited under the guidance of fate.
The long separation did not become an eternal regret.
Now that things have come to this, Ciel has no reason to escape anymore, so he finally takes this step.
………………
After learning the truth of the matter, Lovna spoke first:
"Actually, teacher... I still resent you for leaving me. Do you really think that if you stay, Hilna and I will turn against each other, hate each other, and eventually lead to self-destruction?
"Why don't you believe that things will develop for the better? Do you have to use no-nonsense methods to solve the problem?
"The possibilities of the future are endless. Perhaps, that 'system' just revealed a bad future and deliberately guided you. Just like it did before.
"And in order to avoid the future, you fell into a trap, causing a longer separation from us, and getting yourself into more troubles, so that it was delayed for more than 1000 years. If it weren't for the longevity left by those children, Years old, we simply can’t survive the day we meet you again...
"But even if we meet again, the beautiful years we could have experienced together, those children who have passed away will never come back."
Faced with Lovna's accusation, Charles didn't make any excuses and just lowered his head.
Sirna looked at Charles, and after gathering up her courage, she also spoke after her sister asked:
"Then...Teacher Charles, my Charles...if you really have never resented me and have always been by my side in my most confused and difficult moments...then, can you answer the question now? Do I have a question? Do you love me?"
At the moment when he asked this question, Wuming could feel that Sirna's body was shaking.
"Of course, I love you, Sirna." Ciel raised his head, looked into her eyes carefully, and replied seriously.
"The same kind of love for Katrin and Sister Lovna?" Hilna asked.
"Ah."
He nodded: "I'm sorry, kid, I have been unwilling to admit this a long time ago. Thousands of years ago, as the teacher who swore to protect you, I was always afraid of taking on the heavy responsibility of love, and because of my excessive treatment of you. expectations, and the responsibility as your teacher and caregiver, so I hesitated to show love to you in the past.
"I know how much I mean to you, and I know what you've done to make me proud and get my attention.
"Katelin's passionate emotion of being willing to sacrifice everything for me is the same in you. It's just because you are more reserved, more sensitive and more proud that I was unable to respond.
"I also know now that you will feel guilty for your inner desires and blame yourself for your mistakes. I hope to tell you that the tragedy of St. Ann IV and Monroe was never your fault, and I did not blame you for it. I have never felt resentful about gaining the power of the Netherworld from Emil and the others... I have never.
“I just don’t want you to be like St. Ann IV, who distorts himself and leads to destruction because of my existence.
"I'm sorry that I made you wait for so long because of my own actions.
"Hilna, I love you too. It wasn't until now that I had the courage to say this. This is the choice I make now. Maybe, I don't know whether the choice in the past was correct... but this answer now is my Responding based on my heart and reason, this is the absolutely right choice for me now."
After finally waiting for this answer that could relieve her, Sirna felt that the depression lingering in her heart finally dissipated.
She hugged the person in front of her, feeling the same strong embrace from Ciel, as if her body would melt into his arms at any time.
Then she burst into tears.
On the other side, Lovna also slowly moved to Charles's side, biting her plump red lips, staring at the teacher's face, slowly getting closer, and then gently leaning against him.
After knowing that Sharlanna lost immortality not because Sharr deprived them of their power, but because of the children's own choices, Lovna's knot in her heart finally disappeared.
However, loneliness and regret still filled her heart.Despite the joy of being reunited with Ciel, she still felt unspeakable sadness that she could no longer share it with the children she loved so much.
"It turns out, teacher, you and Sharlanna have made an appointment..." She whispered: "...she is exactly the same as you."
Wuming looked at the scene in front of him, feeling the breeze blowing from a distance, feeling the coolness on his face and the warmth of the sun, feeling that the hard work these days had finally yielded a good result.
However, thinking about it like this, Wuming became confused again.
Since Ciel does not resent his two students and has always loved them deeply, what did he experience and encounter after he went to the dark realm of the East?
What event delayed him for nearly a thousand years?
And why did he live in seclusion on that small island far away from the mainland, like a hermit who had nothing to do with the world, and didn't take the initiative to look for Sirna and Lovna?Is it really just because he doesn't want to face his past again?Or is it because I am ashamed of them and refuses to see them again?
In the end, she didn't express her doubts.
164. After they returned to the island
They left the main city of Sirnaria and stood on the flat land on the outskirts, overlooking the skyline of this magnificent city.
In the evening, darkness suddenly fell and engulfed the entire city.But the city did not fall into dormancy. Instead, it relied on its own light to start a confrontation with the night.
In the past thousands of years, the magicians used bio-alchemy techniques and spells to create those towering giant trees. The dry and spacious tree holes opened in the giant trees are comfortable and warm residences.
The leaves of those trees glow like fireflies in the dark.
When the extended canopies of all the trees shine together in the night sky, the entire city skyline is like a starry sky within reach.Looking from afar, it looks like a colorful galaxy, even more brilliant than the real night sky.
Not only these sacred trees that decorate the city, but also the various rare pets raised by the mages in the city, the magic mounts that travel through the streets... Basically, they all come from the ideas of Ciel in the past.
Told to Queen Sirna in small talk and bedtime stories during her childhood.
Some are fairy tales he carefully wrote, and some come from the creations of the earth that he has inadvertently described in the past.He himself had completely forgotten it after a long time, but Hilna still remembered it.
Relying on talent, obsession and tireless investment, Sirna has actually made many of her former fantasies come true in a thousand years.Today, she showed it to her teacher.
"Teacher, what do you think of this city?"
Hilna paid attention to Ciel's expression, like a child waiting for the exam results to be released on the eve of finals.She asked nervously: "Do you think it looks good?"
"I like it very much, thank you, Sirna, this is your achievement, I am very proud." He said from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you for letting me see this."
"Then...Teacher, do you want to stay in the future?" The answer she got made Hilna happy. Like a child who wants to share candies and toys with her friends, she asked expectantly: "Silna Rhea There are many interesting things in the city. I have experienced many, many things in the past 1000 years, and I want to tell you all..."
"Hey, hey, hey..." Lovna patted her fearful sister on the shoulder and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "The teacher used to live in my place. Or you secretly purchased a property in my capital. Why do you want to move now? It's very strange. inconvenient."
"That place is just a temporary residence. Besides, the teacher has lived with you in Lovnaniya for several months, and it's time to change places. You finally came to my place, do you plan to let the teacher stay there for a few more months? Go back to the Skytrain and continue to stay at home? As far as I know, sister, you just stay at home with the teacher every day and don't go out."
The two queens quarreled with each other, and their words were full of childishness, without any dignity or bearing.
It seems that only in front of each other will they change back to their grown-up appearance.
Ciel just waited quietly for the outcome of the argument between the two, as if he had no intention of helping them decide the outcome.
Wuming looked on with amusement.She thought about it and felt that as an outsider, she could actually have a say.
"Miss Sirna, Miss Lovna, actually, you don't have to fight about this. You still have a long, long time to stay with Sir Charles. You can visit your city whenever you want.
"If you don't mind, actually, you can go back to his previous residence with Sir Charles. The old castle on the island is very clean and leisurely, and the sea view is beautiful. If you want to go there, just Are you going on vacation with Sir Charles?"
Sirna and Lovna looked at each other. After thinking for a while, they both chose to take a step back and nodded.
——————****——————
On the island located on the edge of the world in the northwest of the mainland, the residents of the small town on the island saw the lights of the ancient castle standing on the high ground on the west side of the island lit up in the evening.
The pale yellow light from the narrow windows in the castle is like the flickering fireflies on the ancient trees, making people feel very at ease.
The male protagonist who has been missing for more than half a year should be back.
In the past, no one knew when he and his housekeeper left. The restaurant chefs and bookstore owners on the island all lamented the disappearance of their regular customers and were worried that they had lost an amiable regular customer.Now, no one knows how he came back.
The two queens moved in, and the wardrobe that originally contained more than enough clothes for Wuming and Charles was now filled to the brim with hundreds of dresses that could satisfy the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, winter, December, and even every day.
The spacious and bright study room is filled with various fairy tales, legends, novels, and storybooks written by all the creators of the two empires over the past thousand years;
The nearly abandoned greenhouse is filled with bright flowers, and a dazzling array of handicrafts fills the attic and corridors;
There are so many novel and interesting magic gadgets in the warehouse that it’s dazzling...
The two queens competed to bring things into the castle that they thought would bring joy, attract the attention of the Ciel, and make the residence more beautiful, as if they wanted to stuff their capital into it and show it to the Ciel.
The castle, which was once so quiet, suddenly became lively after the two queens moved in.The change was so great that Wuming was almost unrecognizable.
Of course, the biggest change was in Ciel's bedroom.
Not just because of the pile of furniture added to the bedroom, the real change was the placement of a few extra cribs that Hilna and Lovna thought they would definitely use in the future.
Yes, on the first night of staying here, the blue-haired queen, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally freed herself from the long period of self-blame and anxiety, and accepted her teacher's love with relief.
No longer worried, she carefully combed her smooth and smooth hair, put on a carefully prepared wedding dress, and faced Charles with great solemnity, wanting to show him her best side.
In anxious anticipation, she and her teacher kissed each other for a long time until she almost suffocated.
Although she is a little proud, she thinks that unlike her sister, she will not "go into heat excitedly when she smells Ciel's scent" like Lovna.Hilna, who is very particular about rituals, still hopes to start the long night of romance with a ceremonial engagement.
But when the close-fitting wedding dress satin was gently peeled off, from the ankles to the calves, from the backs of the hands to the shoulders, from the neck to the slender waist, almost every inch of skin was left with powerful kiss marks, and the whole body changed with excitement and excitement. It was so hot that she also let go of the restraint she had held back for a long time.
The rationality in her eyes completely faded away, leaving only confusion and fascination. Her restrained breathing completely turned into a high-pitched cry, and her body alternated between tightening and relaxing, until she finally lost control completely, and she also She clings to her lover's body and refuses to let go of her teacher's hands...
Even her sister stuck out her tongue as she watched.
Until the end, the two exhausted queens cuddled up next to their lovers like two cats taking a nap by the stove in winter. They whispered some inaudible love words and fell into sleep. .
They enjoy this sweet and somewhat crazy life.
………………
It's just that Wuming feels a little uncomfortable.
It's not because I'm a little jealous that Hilna and Lovna can be with Ciel... It's definitely not jealous of that, for sure... It's just that my life has changed so much that I seem to be marginalized.
Once, I was Lord Ciel's only helper, the person who took care of his daily life, and his only caregiver.
She knew more about Ciel, but she was also more curious about him.She was happy to see Charles reunited with the two students, but also worried that she would appear redundant.
But now, Hilna and Lovna have also come here and entered her life.They know Ciel better than themselves, and they don't need help from an outsider like Wuming who doesn't know magic in their daily life.
As long as Hilna and Lovna snap their fingers, the broom and dustpan will automatically jump on the ground to dispose of the garbage, the clothes will jump into the basin to take a bath and wring themselves out, and the messy beds and quilts will be replaced. Straighten out.
They would rush to make various dishes for Ciel, humming songs in the kitchen and bringing out platefuls of dishes, and even cook up one or two rather weird dark dishes on a whim...
As a result, Wuming felt like he was useless.
She felt a little lost and confused.
"Wu Ming, there is no need to feel sad for such an inexplicable reason."
Sensing the housekeeper's disappointment due to losing her sense of existence, he comforted her in advance: "What's the big deal, I'm still me, and you're still you, nothing has changed. Just like Lovna and Silna, no matter how much time passes, , no matter what they have experienced, what identity they have acquired, and what kind of people they have become, they have not changed to me. It is also because of your company and persuasion that I can face them calmly."
His comfort made Wuming feel better.
