A familiar call came from the canopy of the oak trees.A little red-haired girl pushed aside the dense branches and leaves and waved to Ciel: "It's me!"
"Lovna? Why are you here?"
Every time, this little red-haired girl would appear in an unexpected place.
"I'm here to help you find Sirna. I found her. She's here. I brought her to find you... Hey, Sirna, come out and see Teacher Charles!"
In the blink of an eye, the little girl disappeared into the dense branches of the oak tree.
Ciel and Nolen looked at each other, immediately climbed out of the boat and boarded the flying island.
The wall surrounding the oak tree had no gates.An anxious Nolen circled the wall, intending to use tools to smash open the broken wall, but Charles raised his hand to stop him.
After thinking for a while, Charles raised his hand and patted the wall as if knocking on the door.
"Sirna, can your father and I come in to see you?"
Within the wall, the voices of two girls could be heard.Sirna couldn't hear clearly what she was saying, but Lovna's voice was louder: "Look, listen to the voice, Mr. Charles is not angry at all."
The two girls said something else. Sirna was silent for a long time and finally agreed.
"Teacher Charles, and dad... I'm sorry..." She spoke first and actually apologized: "I really didn't mean it that day. I don't remember what happened. I know I made a mistake..."
"It's not your fault, we all know it." Charles tried to make his tone gentler: "Come out quickly, your parents are very worried about you. Go home first, take a shower, put on new clothes, drink Order some hot soup...we'll find a way to remedy this after you've had enough rest."
Sirna seemed to be shaken: "...I won't be captured by the Paladin?"
"How could it be? Paladins catch bad guys." Charles assured with [-]% certainty: "Paladin can only sense the evil breath of demons, but Sirna, I have sensed all your magic. You used It’s pure magic, the holy symbol glows when it touches you, how can you be a bad person?”
"Yes, yes..." Nolen was also smarter: "Your mother also regrets it now. She said that as long as you come home, she will never hit you again."
Unfortunately, these words had the opposite effect.
Recalling the scene of her mother waving the water-soaked cane in the bathroom, Hilna became frightened again.
"Wait, something is wrong..." As soon as Ciel finished speaking, the lake surface around the swamp seemed to be boiling, with countless bubbles popping up and churning crazily, like boiling hot soup.
"Hilna, don't worry," Charles quickly assured: "Your father has a villa in the suburbs, you can live there first. There is no need to go home to see your mother now... Don't be excited, don't be excited..."
The words finally had an effect.
Sirna finally calmed down.
The wall made of stone and earth collapsed automatically, revealing a gap. Charles and Nolen looked through the gap and finally saw Sirna, whom they had been searching for for weeks.
Under the shade of the oak tree, surrounded by the thick branches of the tree, colorful flowers bloomed. The two little girls, one with red hair and one with blue hair, were sitting inside.
"Dad...Teacher Charles..." Sirna's expression looked very tired, and she finally felt relieved: "I'm tired..."
Weeks of frightened fatigue came over her, and she finally fell asleep.
Nolen hurried forward, picked up his daughter, and thanked Charles with relief: "Finally found her... just follow what Mr. Charles said, find a villa in the suburbs, and put the child in it first."
"Let's arrange it this way first." Charles also nodded.
But there's another trouble right now.
"Lovna - why are you here? Who asked you to come to the Everglades? Don't you know it's dangerous here? How many times have I told you? I told you not to run around in the future, why are you still here? "
"Ah." Lovna originally thought that Teacher Charles was a good person who would not get angry, but looking at his expression at this moment, it didn't seem good.
"I, I... I wanted to help Mr. Charles find the devil... so I came to the Everglades, and then I met Sister Sirna. After that, we talked for a long time, and she was willing to come to see you... …”
"Did you convince her to come to see us?" Charles's face softened a little.
"Yeah, yeah!" Lovna nodded repeatedly: "Silna has been avoiding you, teacher. I persuaded her to come to see you."
"Mr. Charles, forget it..." Nolen advised from the side: "She has also helped today, don't worry about it anymore."
"Your Highness Nolen, Lovna is also your daughter, so you can just let her run around without any worries? Today she successfully found Sirna, and she indeed made a contribution, but this is just a coincidence! She ran away without telling her mother When you come to the Everglades, you are more likely to drown directly in the mud! You are her father, so you should be more concerned about her safety! Why do you make it look like I am meddling in other people's business?"
"Well, what you said makes sense..."
But looking at this disappointed little girl, Charles still couldn't bear it.
He leaned down, and after some hesitation, he patted Lovna on the head:
"I know you want to help me, and you did help us today. It must be your credit that Hilna is willing to come back to us. But there are some things that a six- or seven-year-old child like you should not take care of. Wait Let’s talk about it when you grow up.”
"OK……"
"...Don't shed tears. When I go back, I will buy you some cakes and roasted chicken legs."
"Great!"
"I'm not rewarding you! Don't be too happy too soon!" Seeing her become happy again, Charles added, knowing that she didn't have a long memory, "I will tell your mother about your visit to the Everglades today. If she spanks you, if you do it again, I will have her put you in solitary confinement, do you understand?"
"Oh……"
Seeing Sirna sleeping in his father's arms and the elusive Lovna, Charles also felt very tired.
He is really not good at dealing with children.
"We should go back." Charles said, looking at the boat behind him: "Finally, we have solved a problem."
Just as he sighed, the most unexpected thing happened.
The system that had been silent for many years opened its mouth in his mind.
"Congratulations! Congratulations to the host for completing the first phase of the mission! The future female devil has awakened, but because of your appearance, although she awakened her power in advance, she was controlled! You have become the most important thing to her people!
"Ciel, keep up your efforts, protect her, and make this future queen believe in peace and love - this world needs you to save it - please!"
"What? She just..."
Ciel almost blurted out, and Prince Nolen and Lovna beside him were startled by him.
"Mr. Charles, what's wrong with you?" Nolen asked in confusion: "What did you just say?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I was bitten by a bug just now..." Charles immediately waved his hands to cover up his embarrassment.
He still wanted to ask questions, but after the unfortunate system said a few words, he fell into a long silence.
As for Charles, the way he looked at Sirna at this time also changed.
If it is true as the system says, then this little girl who has awakened her magical talent will be the future devil, the empress of the empire who will rule over half of the continent...
He had to take time to digest this new information.
13. Escape
At the moment, the trouble caused by Sirna has not been resolved.
Ciel must give an explanation to everyone in Ipoli, from the king to the common people.He must destroy this so-called "demon" and "monster".
The Eternal Church is about to send a paladin to check the situation near Ipoli. This paladin must fool him;
Also, Lovna.
You have to control this talkative little girl and don't let her talk nonsense.If she tells the truth about Sirna, everything will be over.
In order to escape guilt, Charles thought of a somewhat unethical method.
He and Prince Laurent picked a death row prisoner from prison and secretly took him to the Everglades.
Deep in the swamp, after executing the prisoner, Ciel burned his body, retrieved a few charred bones, and claimed that he had burned the demon to death with magical fire and brought back its bones.
Prince Nolen also testified, saying, "I saw with my own eyes that Mr. Charles used magic to summon a big fireball and engulfed that abominable monster."
This method does work.
Believing that Ciel had killed the demon, the residents threw the unfortunate man's ashes into the cesspool, hurling insults and cheering.
By the time the church's paladins arrived in Ipoli, the "demon" had been completely destroyed.
This matter can only let it go.
Although the lie was temporarily fulfilled, Charles still felt very anxious.
After all, the system that always went offline suddenly appeared and said it had completed the first phase of the mission... This arduous task of "saving the future demon" seemed to be on the right track.
Hilna is the future female devil...
This news was still a little hard for Ciel to accept.
Could it be that Sirna in the future is destined to awaken her magical talent and use this terrifying power to lead the small and remote country of Ipoli to conquer half of the continent?
And, as the system said, she was destined to degenerate into a tyrannical monarch and watch the empire she built collapse and perish?
But looking at this girl who was still timid and scared because of her mother's beatings, and who was worried about hurting innocent citizens, Charles still couldn't connect her with the future he guessed.
Now, although Sirna has left the Great Swamp, she is still afraid of her mother and is unwilling to return to the palace in the city.
When her mother came to visit her, she would still recall the waving cane that day, and would scream loudly and horrified - when she was emotionally unstable, a strange black mist would rise from under her feet and wrap around her. Her body was like a shell.
And his father, Prince Nolen, is a very busy guy.
He also knows nothing about family education and has no idea how to deal with his daughter.
Moreover, there is another trouble - Lovna. This girl's problem is also a bit difficult.
After all, she is now Sirna's only playmate of the same age, and she is also the one who knows about Sirna's magical talent. She is still a stupid girl with no brains.
Who knows if she will get mad and tell the truth that Sirna is the monster.
Therefore, both children must be taken care of.
Faced with such two troubled girls, the only person who has the patience and ability to take care of them is Ciel.
Prince Nolen built an additional more exquisite red brick cabin next to Lovna's home, which was the small wooden house next to the mill near the river.
Sirna has lived here since then, and is taken care of by Teacher Charles. At the same time, she can see Lovna every day.
Charles also resigned from his teaching position in the church school and became Hilna's full-time nanny and tutor.
Looking at these two girls with very different personalities, he deeply felt the difficulty of the task.
How should he teach Sirna?This terrifying girl who contains the power to destroy the city, should we continue to guide her to control her power, or should she be an ordinary person and pretend that her magical talent does not exist?
Should we give her strict instruction and discipline, or should we let her play carefree and enjoy an unconstrained childhood?
If she is really some kind of future devil, does everything she does make sense?
And Lovna.
This silly girl who is completely stupid, should I care about her?She is now following behind her every day, begging Teacher Charles to teach him magic so that she can become a magical girl like Hilna... She has no idea of the seriousness of the matter.
Seeing the two girls chasing and playing at the door of the cabin, Charles was troubled for a long time.
Finally, he made a decision - he would teach them the way he thought was right.
His decision... proved to be very effective.
He did teach two unparalleled students.
Even if hundreds of years pass, he will never let go of his students.
------------------************
Hundreds of years later, on that island at the edge of the world.
Charles, who is hiding his name as a baron, will definitely recall the moment when he made up his mind to teach the two girls well on that distant afternoon hundreds of years ago when he meets the student named Lovna again.
"Teacher Charles, are you in a daze?"
Lovna's call made him wake up from his memories.
Lovna, who was smiling softly but holding a sharp blade in front of her, spoke in a voice that was like thick honey, so sweet that it made one's bones weak.
However, the look in her eyes was still cold and emotionless - at least she didn't want to show any emotion.
"Long time no see, Lovna." He really didn't know how to say hello: "...Long time no see."
Now, this Lovna is no longer the silly little girl.
She is tall and bright, wearing a close-fitting long-sleeved shirt and brown leather pants. Under the skirt are long boots for easy movement, which makes her figure even more curvy.
The golden buttons on the cuffs of his shirt and the buckles embedded with gems on the belt of his leather pants all hint at this noble identity and status.
The dark red hair that Lovna had not taken care of when she was a child is now like a hot flowing flame. The smooth and smooth red hair hangs casually on the back of her head, swaying with her even breathing, reflecting the flowing light.
Coupled with that almost perfect face shape, moist and smooth skin, and those smart eyes——
