The female devils I saved came to my door

This is an emotion of fear of one's own inadequacy, fear of bringing a burden to the one you love, fear that he or she will fade away.

If you think about it carefully, why don't you want to leave Ipoli and go to that Holy See? Isn't it because you are afraid of being alone and that your familiar friends, family, and teachers will not be around?

If Mr. Charles goes with him, traveling far away from home doesn't seem to be particularly scary.

Oh, and also, Teacher Ciel’s psychological problem.

The way he got angry that day was really scary.

If he goes to Glory City, perhaps Teacher Charles's mental illness can be cured, and he will always be so kind and gentle.

Moreover, Glory City is the seat of the Holy See and the most sacred place on the mainland. It is of course a lie to say that I have no interest in it at all.

Magnificent and solemn old churches, clean and bright spacious streets, and all kinds of dazzling rare goods...

If you can really enter the ancient magic academy there and receive the most advanced education, you will definitely become a truly great person.

The most important thing is: if you are in a strange country and only Teacher Charles is by your side, if Teacher Charles is the only one by your side, then...

…………

With this thought in mind, she tiptoed away.

After walking in the snow for a long time, she returned to the door of the Ciel's hut.

Lovna was at the door, holding the alchemy dagger and practicing her slashing skills.

That day, she was slapped by Talia and fell into a coma, which made Lovna very angry and resentful.

She felt that she was not strong enough. Not only did she fail to protect her teacher, but she was also embarrassed, so she increased the amount of training for herself.

After all, she was determined to protect Teacher Ciel and could not tolerate such a setback happening again.

Seeing this sister practicing hard and looking at the shining dagger in her hand, Sirna thought more.

Various reasons, excuses, and thoughts intertwined in her mind, prompting her to make a decision.

When Charles returned to his residence and pushed open the door, Sirna was already ready.

"Teacher Charles, I have figured it out." She said, "I hope to go to Glory City with you."

"Have you changed your mind?"

Just when Charles was surprised, something happened again.

Sirna's decision brought history to a critical juncture once again.

"Ding----"

Before he could figure out the reason for Sirna's transformation, once again, the system, that mysterious guy, spoke in Ciel's mind.

This is the third time this guy has spoken. It has been more than nine years since it last talked to Ciel.

"Char, another important key node! You have to pay attention! This is a critical moment for the fate of the future queen! Now, you are the person she trusts most! You have to choose to stay and accompany her, Or leave and let her grow up on her own? Don’t worry, no matter whether you go or stay, her feelings for you will not waver, and she is destined to become the queen. However, her future may be unpredictable... … changes. So, make your decisions carefully!”

Ciel immediately froze on the spot.

"Teacher?" Hilna looked at the teacher's frozen face in confusion: "Are you unhappy?"

"No, I just, I just..." He paused and slowly sat down in his original position: "...I have to take some time to think about your decision..."

------------*****----------

Back to the present.

In Lovnaniya's hotel, looking at Wuming in front of him who was listening intently to the story, Ciel recalled Sirna's decision that day with a helpless bitterness.

At the time, he did not know that the system was playing a language trap and deliberately inducing him to misunderstand.

At that time, he only thought that Sirna was the destined future queen, so his considerations revolved entirely around Sirna, while ignoring the other child who also loved him deeply.

"I wonder why Sirna suddenly changed her mind. But Sirna has already made her decision. She said firmly: Since Glory City has unlimited possibilities, she is willing to go there and have a try.

"She doesn't want to stay in Ipoli and squander her talent and life in this small place. She wants to achieve a career and see the real world. She doesn't want to miss this life-changing opportunity.

“She also wanted me to go with her so she wouldn’t be scared.

"I was really confused at the time and didn't know if I should agree to her. So, I tried to calculate Hilna's fate, but the result was a blank without any warning.

“It’s as if Heavenly Father is deliberately hiding our destiny, forcing me to rely on reason to make decisions.

"I finally thought about it for a long time and chose to agree to Sirna.

"Then, I found her parents and discussed it carefully with them. I also chatted with that Paladin Perry for a long time... Anyway, in the end, Sirna was determined to go to Glory City. Her story is That’s how it started.”

Wuming, who was listening to Charles's narration, nodded slightly: "I also remembered that according to history, the founding queen of the Western Ipolitan Empire, Saint-Silna, was the only queen in the world who spoke for both divine power and secular royal power. So, Did she really climb to a high position in the Holy See with your help?"

"Yes, she almost became the pope."

"Then, isn't that great? Why..."

"Because I didn't take Lovna with me." Charles replied, "I let her stay in Ipoli."

30. Separately

Although he was surprised that Sirna changed her mind, as her teacher, Ciel decided to respect her opinion.

"I'll go with you."

"Thank you, Teacher Charles!" A delighted smile appeared on her face, and she wished she could dance with Teacher Charles in her arms.

Sirna's mother was also very happy, thinking that her daughter had finally come to her senses and was willing to make progress.She even began to reminisce about the situation when her daughter became a big figure in the Holy See, receiving cheers and worship from believers in the splendid hall.

Although his father, Prince Nolen, was still a little hesitant, he reluctantly agreed after being persuaded by his wife and daughter.

Paladin Perry is also happy about his future - now, as a recommender, he is also expected to be promoted.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a mission and had to stay in the Great Hessend region to perform official duties, he would definitely be eager to be the tour guide accompanying Ciel and Silna.

The paladin provided Charles with a strategy for heading to Glory City: go west from Ipoli, take the mountain road out of Great Hessend, then turn south to reach a merchant republic on the coast, and use the ports and ships there that belong to the Holy See. , heading towards Glory City.

The total journey took about four months, which was already the fastest.

Moreover, he also used his status as a Paladin to issue two guide certificates for them, promising that they could use church stations in various places to rest, and also receive free accommodation services from churches in various places, ensuring safety and worry-free throughout the journey.

If Hilna gets homesick in the future, that's okay.The General Church of the Great Hessend region and the Holy See of Glory City have timely transmissions that are delayed by no more than half a day.

Hilna can exchange letters with her parents every month.

Sounds perfect.

Sirna's parents were satisfied.

The residents of Ipoli learned that Mr. Charles and Mr. Paladin had reconciled, and would take their saint, Miss Sirna, to the great and glorious Holy City to meet the Pope and receive the highest level of theological education.

Although everyone was reluctant to part with him and worried about whether life would be difficult without Mr. Charles in the future, in general, everyone felt that this was a good thing for Charles.

Moreover, Ciel also promised that he would definitely return to Ipoli with Hilna who had returned from school in the future, and reunited with everyone. Everyone was not so sad, and they all congratulated Ciel.

The only one who was extremely dissatisfied and even heartbroken about this was Lovna.

When she learned that Sirna and Charles were leaving, she had a big quarrel with this sister for the first time - she really didn't understand that the paladin was obviously looking for trouble with Mr. Charles, why did Charles and Sirna do it instead? Should I accept his suggestion and go to that Glory City?

Moreover, it takes several years to go there.

He also wanted to leave her alone in Ipoli.

She held Ciel tightly and cried for a long time, making it clear that she did not want him to leave.

Looking at the girl with tears in her eyes, Charles asked Perry if he could issue another guide certificate so that he could take the child with him.

But Perry expressed embarrassment:

"This Miss Lovna does not know magic, is not very old, and does not have much wealth or status. Even if I issue her a guide ticket and let you take her to Glory City, she will not be qualified to stay. .You have to know that it is a holy city. For ordinary people who want to be qualified to enter the city, it is a great honor to see the spire of the holy church."

Indeed, Lovna is just a young girl who has just grown up without any magic.

It felt a bit uneasy for Charles to take Sirna on a long trip alone. If he had to take two girls on a long trip together, you can imagine how difficult it would be.

But of course Lovna was still unwilling.

In her opinion, these excuses were all excuses to deliberately take Teacher Ciel away from her.

After all, she grew up under Ciel's care, and spent most of her life with this man.She really couldn't imagine living alone in Ipoli from now on.

However, after realizing that she was the only opponent in Ipoli and her objection was ineffective, she locked herself in the bedroom and did not go out for several days and nights.

This made Ciel very distressed.

He has a lot of troubles on his hands, including preparing and planning the route to Glory City, collecting necessary luggage and funds for preparation, consulting Paladin Perry about the arrangements after arriving in Glory City, and dealing with people from all over Ipoli who want to give him money. He gave a banquet to see off the residents...

At this time, the temper tantrum of a little girl in Lovna was just a trivial matter that did not attract everyone's attention.

So, when he learned about the situation from Lovna's anxious mother, she had already locked herself in her room and been starving for several days.

He immediately rushed to her residence and after prying open the door, Charles saw Lovna who was so hungry that she was dizzy.

Relying on the aroma of baking bread and thick soup, she faintly woke up.

But even though she was very hungry, she still refused to eat.

"Teacher Charles, really, can you not leave me? Let me follow you?" She begged: "I know I have no ability, and I also know that I am not as powerful as Sister Sirna, but I really I have worked very hard! I practice swordsmanship every day and work hard on physical training every day. I will definitely be able to be your bodyguard in the future. I will also help you with housework and help you..."

"Lovna, I know you have worked very hard, but sometimes, some things cannot be solved by hard work. Besides, I didn't say I would leave you alone. I am just accompanying Sirna on a long trip."

"But that's Glory City. It takes half a year to go back! I'll never see you again. I'll go crazy!"

At this point, she shed tears again: "Please don't leave, okay..."

"Lovna, do you still remember the stories I wrote for you?" Charles could only use the fairy tale book he knitted for her as an example:

"In "The Magical Adventures of Witch Lovna", the red-haired witch also met many important friends. After completing an adventure, she would also say goodbye to those friends until the next story, or In the next story, these friends will reunite with Lovna by chance, right?"

Lovna: "But that's a story, and I'm not a witch. I just happen to have the same name as the protagonist of that story. I'm just Lovna."

She is no longer the kind of child who can't tell the difference between fairy tales and reality.

"In my opinion, it's all you." Charles straightened her messy red hair, brought a hot towel to wipe her tear-stained face, and finally handed the bread: "Eat a little slowly first. , if you are starving, you will never see me again."

The girl who had been coaxed for a while finally managed to eat something. After a while, her complexion improved.

Seeing that her face looked better, Charles continued to speak: "I promise that I will return to Ipoli to visit you after staying there for at most two years. Moreover, when I am in Glory City, I will tell you everything I see Write them all into stories and send them back through the church to tell you what I have experienced. I will use divination every day to figure out your thoughts. When you may encounter trouble, I will try my best to inform you in advance and help you solve it."

Lovna: "...That's not enough. It's just a letter. I just want to be with the teacher."

Charles: "Separation is something that everyone has to face. We will always have to separate from important people for various reasons. This... there is really no way. Lovna, learn to be brave, like in the story Just like the witch Lovna, just treat this as an adventure without my help.

"When I am away, I ask you to take care of my house for me and organize the books I have collected. I put a lot of savings under the wardrobe. You can use it when needed.

"When both Sirna and I are gone, the residents of Ipoli will still be in trouble. I hope you will use this wealth properly, take care of yourself and help those in need as you see fit. Okay?"

"When Sirna returns from her studies, you sisters will all be heroes of Ipoli."

After hearing this, Lovna seemed to get excited: "If I perform well enough, Teacher Charles, you will come back sooner? You should be able to use divination to predict how I will perform, right?"

"It should be okay..." Ciel didn't know, but he still gave the guarantee.

After all, in his plan, if Sirna can gain a foothold in Glory City, then Ciel can leave alone and return to Ipoli much faster.

Within two years, he should have the opportunity to come back to visit Lovna.

If Sirna was not treated well in Glory City, then he could just take Sirna back to Ipoli.

These words finally made Lovna feel better.

She sat on the edge of the bed, leaning on Ciel's shoulder, slowly chewing the bread in her hand.

Being so close, she could even smell Ciel's unique scent, the scent that made her feel at ease.

After thinking for a long time, she made up her mind.

Turning her face sideways, she stretched her slender neck and kissed Ciel's cheek while he was thinking.

Lovna tilted her head when her teacher looked at her in surprise.

At this moment, her whole face was flushed.

"Teacher, have a nice journey..." she whispered, "I will wait for you to come back and see me."

In the early spring when the ice and snow melted, Hilna and Ciel set off in a carriage amid the farewells of the residents of the Ipoli Kingdom.

Lovna climbed to the tallest tree nearby and watched the two carriages disappear at the end of the road before reluctantly climbing down the tree trunk.

She returned to the Shire residence.
