The female devils I saved came to my door

Nowadays, the status of the older sister and younger sister seems to have been reversed.

Sirna, who once attracted much attention, is no longer the only teacher. At this time, Lovna is the one closer to Charles.

The two sisters, both grown up, were shocked by the appearance of the other person that was completely different from their impressions the moment they saw each other.

After staring at each other for a while, the two realized that they could no longer stand there blankly. They spoke at the same time and greeted in a low voice:

"Long time no see, sister/sister."

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

Hilna took off her muddy boots, put on her slippers, and nervously walked into the house where she spent her entire childhood.

This is the place she truly considers to be "home" in her heart.

The furnishings in the house have not changed much, except that there are fewer picture books and game chess pieces piled in the bookcases, replaced by many thick and yellowed manuscripts.They were all organized with Lovna's help. This place is like the secret center of this emerging empire.

"Teacher Charles is resting now. Don't disturb him now. Wait until he wakes up. Also, the teacher has written you a lot of letters before. He has been trying to get you back, but why don't you reply?"

Lovna asked her sister, whom she had not seen for many years, to sit down, brought tea, and sat opposite Hilna like a housewife receiving visitors: "I thought you were going to stay in the Holy See and continue to be with those annoying guys. , ignore us."

"How is it possible? I'm not that heartless. I will follow Mr. Charles wherever he is... I don't reply... I have my reasons."

In fact, until now, Sirna is still in a dilemma.

Everything she learned: the Pope's true identity, her plot, the seven children underground in Glory City, Lovna's current achievements... these all made her upset.

She didn't know whether she should confess all this to Teacher Ciel immediately, let alone what Ciel would think and do if he knew everything.

She hesitated all the way, and until now, she has not made up her mind.

The two girls, who were both worried, took a peek at the closed bedroom door - Ciel was sleeping soundly in the room.

The two sisters in the living room fell into an eerie silence with nothing to say.

After all, the two of them had been through so much in the past, so it was actually a breakup.Both sides also thought that they would never see each other again.

But they still returned to their original hometown, sitting at the same square table, drinking tea and chatting face to face as they did when they were children.

It's just that everyone's identity, status and even the entire Ipoli have undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Teacher Charles asked me to come back. He said that the Vatican was too outdated after all and it was inappropriate for me to stay any longer. I thought about it for a long time and felt that the teacher was right, so I came back." Hilna explained vaguely. Saying: "That's it."

"Oh."

Luovna agreed and nodded slightly.

Then the room fell silent again.

136.Confused

"I used to be jealous of my sister, but at the same time I also despised her. I was jealous that she had the care from her mother, and I was jealous that she could share the care from Teacher Charles. But I also looked down on her because she didn't have mine. Talent, not my talent.

"I always thought that I would be the one who makes Teacher Charles proud. I would use my talents to climb to a high position, and I would become a great person... But in the end, it was Lovna who achieved success before me. I started this career and got the approval of Teacher Charles."

Therefore, after meeting Lovna, who had completely transformed, the complex emotions of embarrassment, confusion, and hesitation reminded her of the bad past of her childhood.

When he was seven years old, he lost control of his emotions due to his mother's beatings. After awakening his magical power, he almost killed hundreds of innocent residents in the city. Only because of the appearance of Teacher Charles did he briefly regain his consciousness and fled in panic. The nearby large swamp - at that time, hiding in the uninhabited swamp, what Hilna felt was this kind of confusion.

The reason why she was willing to return to Ipoli was only because Charles was here.She didn't want to see her sister, mother, father or anyone else, it would only frighten her.

For Sirna, the timing of her return to Ipoli could be said to be fortuitous.

Because the mother who once made her so cruel passed away a few months ago.

After hearing the news from her sister, Sirna was in a daze for a while.

She didn't know whether to feel sad or relieved about this.

Sirna has always hated her philistine, paranoid, paranoid and self-righteous mother. It can even be said that her resistance to returning to Ipoli comes largely from her mother.This hatred has been rooted in her heart since childhood.

She hated her mother's unreasonable harshness and beatings, her mother's arrogance in interfering in her life and suppressing her emotions, and her mother's desire to control her desires and impulses.

But she also knew that her mother had the expected love for her, and it was precisely because of this expectation that she did those things.

This was the most unbearable thing for her - the harm caused to her out of love and expectation caused her more pain than the harm caused by pure malice.

She didn't know whether the long separation had changed her mother's character, and she never dared to think about what it would be like to see her mother again.

But now, her mother has finally passed away, and she is finally free.

As for the father of the two sisters, King Nolen, this old man in his sixties is still the nominal king of Ipoli at this time, but everyone knows that he no longer has much power.

But he was also happy like this. He ate, drank and lived in the palace every day, leaving basically everything to his daughter.

As for other changes, Sirna also saw them with her own eyes on the way back.

The current Greater Hessend region has been generally integrated. Schools have been established in various places to allow civilians to receive education. Population registration statistics have been verified, and there are many plans in preparation.

If possible, all slavery in the country could even be abolished within a few years.

In short, according to Lovna's description, everything in Ipoli was prosperous.

"Oh." Hilna angrily praised her sister's achievements: "...it's really good."

Then, the room fell into awkward silence again.

But in the end, it was an outsider who broke the awkwardness.

"We are back! Father, sister Lovna!"

A spirited greeting came from the door of the hut.

Then, Sirna saw a tall and energetic girl with shoulder-length short hair and sparkling black eyes.It may be unintentional, but Sirna can still be aware of the powerful Netherworld power she possesses.

The moment she met the girl's eyes, Sirna immediately realized who the other person was.

The seven imprisoned children she saw underground in Glory City also had the same appearance and temperament.

The moment she met her eyes, Sirna was sure that she was Ciel's heir.She should be the girl named "Sharlanna" that Charles mentioned in his letter.

She stood up nervously. For some reason, she felt panicked for a moment.

Then she saw more children running into the house.

They were all boys and girls with Ciel's soul and temperament, whose eyes impressed her deeply.

The presence of these children effectively alleviated the awkward anger in the room.After they saw Sirna, they were obviously a little surprised. It wasn't until Lovna stood up and made a brief introduction that they realized that this was the Sirna that Lovna and Charles had mentioned.

They welcomed Sirna.

Lovna was almost going crazy during the long awkward chat just now.The presence of the children relieved her.Like a mother, she pulled Sharlana over, straightened her somewhat messy clothes, and gently asked about the children's experiences.

These children chattered about their experiences: they visited various places, how the civilians in the conquered areas worshiped them, and how they wiped out the bandits and nobles who dared to resist them.

If there weren't those words about beating and killing, the atmosphere would be as warm as children sharing their school experiences with their parents after school.

After chatting with Lovna for a while, they inevitably looked at Sirna.After all, they were still just children mentally, and this Lady Sirna made them very curious.

But facing these children, Sirna really didn't know what to say, so she could only use vague answers to prevaricate these children's questions.Sher Lanna and others noticed that Sherna was somewhat resistant, and also noticed that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right, so they knew it and did not ask any more questions.

The sensible eldest sister excused herself that talking loudly inside the house would wake up the sleeping Ciel, so she picked up Lovna and led the other children outside to play.

Sirna finally had some time to breathe.

Through the window, she could see the children outside the house playing non-stop under the leadership of Lovna and Sharlana. They were playing football next to the sand, building sandcastles, chasing each other, and swinging the swing as high as they could. ——Just like Lovna and Silna when they were children.

And Lovna is the core surrounded by the children.Surrounded by those children, she seemed to have a holy radiance, and her smile from the bottom of her heart was so charming.

Sirna stared at it for a long time. She didn't realize anything until it was dusk and Charles woke up after a long sleep and opened the door and stood behind her.

She turned her head and looked at the teacher behind her.

"Teacher Charles...are you awake?"

She hadn't seen Ciel in a year or two. She stood up quickly and wanted to go up and say hello, but suddenly realized that she was dressed very poorly at the moment, which made her feel ashamed and froze in place.

But Charles didn't care about Sirna's disgraced appearance. He was very happy that his student did not miss the power of the Holy See and chose to return to him.

He helped Hilna clean and comb her messy long hair, put her hair into a simple bun, and then said: "Welcome home, my child."

The comfort in these words also made Sirna feel much more relaxed.

She also suddenly remembered the mistakes she had made before and immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry, teacher... I, because I hated Lovna, I intercepted the letter you wrote to her and lied to you. Moreover, I shouldn't have delayed coming back for so long. I... I was wrong. But , I have decided to leave the Holy See, and I will stay with you in the future. I will go wherever you go, please don't be angry with me, okay?"

"I understand, Sirna." Charles did not criticize her: "Actually, I was also wrong. I always thought that as long as I took you to the Holy See, you would get the best education and the best life. A glorious future. But this has also made you a little egotistical and arrogant, alienated you from your family, and been greatly affected by the utilitarianism of the Holy See. If I had stayed in Ipoli with you at that time, maybe It will save you a lot of detours...but let’s start over now.”

"Um……"

"Hilna, there is one more thing, your mother..."

"I know, Lovna told me. Teacher, please don't mention her again, I'm a little tired."

"Ok."

…………

"By the way, Teacher Charles, there is actually another reason why I came back. Do you know, the Pope actually..."

But before he finished speaking, the children and Lovna outside the house also saw Charles waking up through the window.

They immediately poured into the house, interrupting what Sirna was about to say.

The children happily gathered around their father, chattering away.Charles then motioned to Sirna to take a shower and change clothes first, and talk about it later in the evening.

Then, he gently patted Sharlana on the shoulder and asked her to accompany him to prepare dinner.

In the kitchen, the father and his most sensible daughter methodically lit the fire, heated the pot, cut vegetables, stewed, and seasoned.Hilna changed out of her maid outfit, took a simple shower, put on the clothes Lovna lent her, and just walked out of the bathroom in time for dinner to be cooked.

It’s still the same Ipoli home-cooked dishes as in my childhood, various stews and soups with toast.

However, the number of diners increased from three to ten, and the small dining table obviously could not accommodate them. However, these people stubbornly did not add any tables and chairs to the house, and were unwilling to expand the house, so they wanted to keep the small house as it was.The room could only be filled with people.

All the children had good appetites, and even the few drops of broth left in the soup pot were wiped clean with bread and thrown into their bellies.

The children helped their father wash the dishes, and then they took out various games and toys and started playing happily around the house.

Charles also took the time to play two games of chess with Sherlana, and the girl was able to defeat her father.

It wasn't until the night was deep that these children fell asleep in the house - because the hut didn't have that many rooms, even if two or three children were squeezed into one bed, it wasn't enough. Some children simply made a bed on the floor in the living room and fell asleep. .

This kind of warm family gathering is not the norm.Many times, as the de facto ruler of Ipoli, Lovna had to attend various important ceremonies, meet with nobles and dignitaries from various places, and had to take these children to conquer the country.They all cherished the time they spent with Ciel.

As for Hilna, she watched the children laughing and playing and watching the interaction between Lovna and the children all night without saying anything.

137. Hilna’s question

At that time, Sirna really felt that Teacher Shar and Lovna were like a loving couple, and Sher Lana and their seven children were their children, just like a happy family.

Not only was she looming jealous of Lovna, her sister, but what made Hilna feel lonely was that she realized that she did not have the same emotions as Lovna.

Lovna has always had a maternal love that she has never had before, and she can give this emotion to these children calmly.

The children fell asleep around Charles, their father.But the sisters were not sleepy yet, and not wanting to disturb the children's rest, they walked out of the house and stood under the clear night sky.

At this time, there was no longer the awkwardness and restraint between them that they had when they first met during the day. Lovna and Sirna talked calmly as if they had not broken up in childhood and were still close friends.

Hilna asked her sister many questions:

How did those demons deliver these children into Lovna's hands?How did she raise these children?What has Ipoli experienced in these years?How did she get to where she is now...

Although Teacher Charles briefly mentioned these things to Hilna in her letter, she still hoped to learn a more detailed and real past from Lovna's personal account.

Luovna also let go at this time.

She proudly told her sister about her experiences over the past ten years.

Under the guidance of the demon, she found seven children in the dense forest next to the swamp. Just like Ciel taught the two sisters, she worked hard to raise the children and taught them how to behave in the world;

How he resisted the invading gangsters in his hometown with the help of his children, and further unified the Great Black Sund and expanded outward;

After reuniting with Mr. Charles, Charles faced the vicious swordsman who was chasing these children, and how he resolutely raised his sword to defend them...

"All my achievements have been brought to me by these children. Therefore, I must love them as much as the teachers love us."

When mentioning Monroe's pursuit of these children, Hilna could clearly detect the anger and hatred in Lovna's words.And when Lovna mentioned that these children had absorbed enough power from the underworld by spreading war and killing, and were able to re-consolidate their bodies and return to the human world, her tone was filled with relief.

This made Hilna feel very uncomfortable.

She remembered the warnings from the Pope and Monroe, so after hesitating, she asked the question:

"Lovna...after all, these children were created by demons, and they can actually draw energy from war and pain, and they can also resurrect from the dead - I don't know what Teacher Charles said, but, this It has obviously exceeded the scope of ordinary Netherworld magic. These children themselves are even part of the Netherworld, and are equivalent to demons.

"Under their human appearance, is there a terrifying essence hidden? Can they be considered human? Have you ever thought about this?"
