The female devils I saved came to my door

The only person who was slightly suspicious was Lovna's mother - because her daughter's appetite had increased a lot and she had to bring food to Charles' house to eat every day.

"You don't have any wild animals as pets, do you? Don't feed human food to wild animals!"

Lovna could only laugh and ignore her mother's accusations.

Since there were still riots in various places, Lovna could not send a letter to Charles to inform Ciel of the existence of these children, and she could not kill these harmless children with a knife, so these children could only be raised temporarily.

These children are also very sensible, and Lovna really can't connect them with the scheming devil.

However, there is a problem - all seven children have a strong thirst for knowledge.When the devil created them, he only gave them a preliminary understanding and made them curious about things, but did not give them complete knowledge.

They also need to learn, so the children really want to understand the books piled on the bookcases in Charles's home.

“Sister Lovna, can you teach us how to read?”

"Uh……"

Lovna herself was a poor student, and her learning ability gave Charles a lot of headaches back then.

In order to teach these children how to read and write, Lovna had to take out the long-dusted textbooks, board games, etc. from the bottom of the bookcase. She recalled the way Charles taught her lessons in the past and tried to teach these children in the same way.

She is not very good at making up stories, and she has no ability to educate and entertain.My level is not high, I can barely read and write, let alone how to give lectures.When teaching knowledge, he always stutters.

Even though she was a terrible teacher, the children listened carefully and relied on their wisdom to make up for the shortcomings in her teaching skills.

The children quickly learned to read and write. They began to look through the books in Charles's home, helped Lovna with some housework, and thoughtfully made handmade gifts for Teacher Lovna.

Lovna also experienced the feeling of Charles being a teacher to their sisters.

It is a pity that all the fairy tale picture books that Charles carefully produced in the past have been sold. These children have no chance to see those exquisite picture books. They can only understand those fairy tales through Lovna's stuttering memories and some manuscripts that have long been yellowed and cracked. Snippets of the story.

But more than they want to know the story, they want to know the person who created it.

"These stories were all created by my father?" Sharlana asked.

"Yes, they are all created by Ciel."

"Sister Lovna, can you tell me about my father's past? What kind of person is he?" Sharlanna is particularly curious about Charles: "I really want to know about him. Where is he now? The man who created us He said that my father is the most perfect person in the world, is it true?"

"... To me, he is truly the perfect one."

Lovna described the past of her acquaintance with Ciel: the first time she met Ciel when she was a child; she asked Ciel for a reward when she was ignorant; she studied and lived with Ciel; and her first separation from Ciel... …

At this time, although her words were concise, her narration was extremely fluent, and even those children could detect the emotions contained in her words.

The children also felt that Ciel must be a great person.

"Can we see our father in the future?" Sharlana looked forward to it very much.

"...Maybe, but I think it's better not to rush to see him."

"why?"

"Because, because the guy who created you was actually a demon, and that demon led me to do a lot of bad things. Your father is now a hero of the Holy See, and is a mortal enemy of the devil."

When Lovna said this, she remembered the embarrassment of being rejected after confessing to the teacher, the shame of being locked up in a cage during the public trial, and the livid face of Sirna after she was rescued, and she felt mixed emotions in her heart. : "...Besides, I don't know how to face Ciel."

"What happened to Sister Lovna?"

Lovna explained that in order to find Charles, she was tricked by the devil into leaving her hometown and doing things she shouldn't have done.

"Is this a bad thing?" The children were very puzzled: "Isn't this all a good thing? Sister, you saved the residents of Ipoli, punished the powerful people who oppressed the civilians, and killed the bad guys who did all kinds of evil... What happened? make a mistake?"

Lovna also couldn't explain why, after helping the civilians who resisted oppression and driving away the oppressors, the situation turned chaotic.He could only explain it by saying "the right and wrong of things are very complicated".

She warned the children that it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. Thinking they are doing good things may turn out to be bad. They must be sensible and obedient, think before doing things, and must not associate with the devil, let alone let their father disappointment.

The children all nodded, saying that they would definitely remember Sister Lovna's teachings.

Lovna looked at these particularly obedient children. They listened so carefully to every word she said, just like they did when she was following Charles when she was a child.She also felt valued.

But she also had some doubts in her heart - she thought that the children created by the devil should either be cruel and murderous, and it would be obvious at a glance that they were born bad; or they should be like Miss Devil herself, hiding a knife behind her smile and liking to manipulate people's hearts to spread chaos.

But these children are very calm, rational, calm and reserved.

She really didn't understand how the devil used it and why he created them.

What exactly are they born for?

…………

At that time, Lovna seemed to have accepted her mediocre life as she told her children about their father.

Nor would she have thought that a long time later, when those children calmly chose to give up their long lives and welcome their souls to the underworld, she would be like a real mother, accompanying their father and telling him these things. Children's stories.

"They are all good children." Lovna looked at Ciel and repeated seriously: "They love you as much as I do."

Ciel said nothing.

Wuming has always been a loyal listener, listening to their stories.

After visiting the exhibition in the Imperial City of Lovnania, she became interested in the founding royal family of the Eastern Ipolitan Empire.Charles's attitude towards the portrait of Queen Sherlana in the exhibition made her even more curious.

Ciel should not dislike these children, even if they are the creations of the devil.

"Lord Charles, what do you think of these children?"

"... Let's make lunch first. I'm going to cook today." He abruptly changed the subject and planned to get up and leave.

However, Lovna, who was sitting next to him with her legs crossed and lying on the sofa, raised her toes and stopped in front of Charles.

"Ciel..." The beautiful red-haired queen played with her long, slightly curly hair carelessly, and looked at Charles lazily. Both her tone and expression seemed a little unhappy: "You have been thinking about it for so long. Are you still struggling? Can't you be more honest?"

Ciel sighed as if resigned to his fate, and turned to look at Lovna.

"Okay, let's go to our child's cemetery tomorrow."

He used the word "our child," which made Lovna very happy.

"Okay." Lovna then smiled, stood up and kissed her lover's face: "You don't have to be busy anymore. Have a good rest. I will cook today."

Luovna hummed a relaxing tune, left the sofa, stretched, and ran briskly into the kitchen.A somewhat helpless Ciel and a solemn sitting Wuming were left behind.

"Lord Charles, are you going to the tomb of Queen Sherlana tomorrow?"

"Correct."

"She didn't die? Did she live to this day like Miss Lovna?"

"No, she died. Tomorrow I will just accompany Lovna to pay homage to them. Or use Nether spells to communicate with their dead souls left in the Netherworld. In short... they have passed away."

"Aren't they the creations of the devil? Don't you mean that they are all immortal children?"

"This is their own choice - they don't want to be indifferent to emotions in their long life, and they don't want to be the eternal ruler and become an old and immortal living corpse at the top of a decadent regime. Therefore, they accept the limited Life releases the power of the underworld that could have brought infinite lifespan." Ciel was silent for a while: "...They are all great people."

Wuming said oh and wisely did not ask any more questions.

The meals cooked by Lovna herself were quickly served on the table.

Although her long life and experience have made her an elegant and graceful queen, she is still the carefree Iboli girl at heart.

The meals prepared are quite down-to-earth, including traditional Ipoli stew, large pieces of bread, and grilled steaks...

When Charles is tasting dishes, he will nervously ask him for various opinions, and like a housewife, he will introduce his cooking experience and experience in a long-winded manner, waiting for his praise.

It would really be perfect if there were a few kids sitting around the dining table.

103. Founding War

In the old city north of the Imperial City of Lovnania, in the old monastery next to the Royal Military Academy, there are coffins of members of the royal family in the early days of the East Ipolitan Empire, except Lovna.

This old monastery, which served as an imperial mausoleum, was built when the empire was founded.It looks like a huge rectangular temple with towering columns and a grand main entrance with exquisite carvings.Huge annual maintenance costs keep the building looking brand new over a long period of time.

This place is no longer a place for monks to chant sutras and practice. It functions more like an ancestral hall and a museum.

The coffins of the royal family were stored in the empty and cold tombs, covered with imperial flags woven from fine silk, and accepted the admiration and worship of those who came after them.

Even when major festivals and ceremonies are not held, the place is always very lively.

However, Lovna didn't like people waiting around, so she used some means to notify the imperial government in advance. Therefore, the bustling imperial mausoleum was temporarily blocked by the officials, and only an inconspicuous side door was opened for her to enter alone. visit.

In the past thousand years, whenever she woke up and felt bored or tired of the status quo, she would come here to rest and hang out in the places where these children rested, immersed in the memories of the past.

Now, she finally had a Ciel to accompany her, and she was very happy.

"Just the two of us, let's go see them together - others don't bother us." That's what she said.

However, Wuming also had a rare hard time with Lovna this time: "I want to go too."

"What are you doing here?" Lovna asked displeasedly: "We are going to worship my and Ciel's child, does it have anything to do with you?"

"Miss Lovna, since they are Lord Charles's children, they are also my family, and I also want to get to know them."

"Your family..." These words made Lovna's face look very ugly: "Do you know them?"

Wuming looked directly at Lovna: "Miss Lovna, they are not related to you by blood, but they can still be regarded as your family. Why can't they become my family?"

"Let Wuming follow." Charles spoke in time to stop the possible argument - he could feel that the smell of gunpowder in the house was a bit strong.

Since the reunion, although Luovna has not shown any obvious hostility towards Wuming, she still has a repulsive attitude, and will intentionally or unintentionally take over Wuming's original job, such as cooking, sweeping the floor, and sorting out clothes.

She would also make some weird remarks like "The dishes you cook don't seem to be to Charles's taste", "Why are the clothes in such a mess? It's up to me to do it", "What are you doing sweeping the floor? It's something that can be solved by chanting a few spells. There’s no need to trouble the nameless lady”…

There was clearly an attempt to marginalize her.

Of course Wuming wouldn't give in - Wuming wouldn't mind the fact that Lovna almost killed her before, but if he wanted to drive her away from Charles, she would be furious.

She always insisted on her own opinions and refused all ill-intentioned help from Lovna.

Therefore, at this moment, Lovna saw that Charles had expressed her intention to bring Wu Ming with her. Although she was still not happy in her heart, she could only agree.

After rolling her eyes at him and muttering a few harsh words like "I'll settle the score with Charles tonight," she took the two of them and set off.

After half an hour's walk, they saw the architectural outline of the temple where the imperial mausoleum is located.

Led by Lovna, they walked through a hidden path in the garden to the back door of the temple, opened a small door, walked through a long corridor, and entered the building.

In the spacious hall that suddenly opens up, there are many tall figure sculptures and exquisite large paintings, all of which are works praising the life achievements of the founding emperors.The light shines through the glass at the top of the building and hits these works of art, highlighting their grandeur.

The three of them stepped on the smooth floor tiles that reflected figures, and their footsteps echoed faintly in the empty and silent hall.

Lovna was originally a little angry with Charles because of Wuming's following, but after entering here, her negative emotions quickly dissipated.

She turned her head, took Charles's left arm, and led him through the works of art with a proud face.Ciel was a little embarrassed and didn't say a word, letting Lovna pull him away.

I still want to see more of these objects without a name, so I can only stretch my legs and try to keep up with their pace.

Among the imperial mausoleums, the largest tomb belongs to Queen Sharlanna.

This circular tomb is huge, surrounded by stone tablets, reliefs and murals depicting her great achievements during her lifetime. On the towering dome is the holy emblem symbolizing the Holy Religion, indicating her destiny to command the empire by her father.

Her remains were contained in a dark red coffin more than four meters high and placed on a tall bluestone platform.The coffin is surrounded by carvings of blessings and quotes from her during her lifetime.

Lovna took Ciel and stopped in front of a stone monument.

On that stone tablet, it was told that after Queen Lovna gave birth to Sharlana and seven other children, in order to avoid "the pursuit of the evil and corrupt old Holy See forces" and to take care of the children, she returned to her hometown of Ipoli and began to Teach these children to become future rulers.

Sharlana also recalled this experience later, claiming that "the knowledge I learned at that time was a precious treasure given to me by my mother and has been used throughout my life."

"You, Teacher Lovna, teach well." Charles said softly, "Better than me."

"...Thank you for the compliment." Lovna hugged his arm harder and responded softly: "We taught him well."

After that, the next hanging painting records the first battle Sharlanna participated in, the Battle of Ipoli, known as the "Battle of the Swamp."

At that time, a gang of more than [-] people fled from the Beztan area to the Great Hessend. Relying on the guidance of traders who were familiar with the roads, they passed through the rugged mountains and swamps and plundered Ipoli.

The residents of the Ipoli area immediately organized resistance, and fighting broke out around the Everglades.

In this war, Queen Lovna took the lead and fought bravely with her sword in the front, heroically helping her father, King Nolen, to resist these foreign enemies.

Sher Lana also made her mark in this battle. She used magic to summon powerful underworld creatures to help her mother defend against the enemy.

She was less than ten years old at the time, and yet she had such a talent. It was obvious that she was a dragon among people, destined to be an emperor.

"That war was all thanks to Sharlanna."

That was the war that broke out about a year or two after Lovna returned to Ipoli.

At that time, Lovna had already calmly accepted that she was a peasant woman and would live her whole life normally.
