"I'm more worried that those children are destined to lose control. They are the children of the devil, and Teacher Charles will also make big mistakes because of his preference...

"I don't know what to do anymore."

139.How to live up to everyone

"Nameless, at that time, I often thought of the eyes of the seven imprisoned children and the oath I made to them. I promised that I would set them free and let them see their father.

“But when it came time to reunite with Teacher Charles, I couldn’t open my mouth to explain their existence to their father.

"His Majesty the Pope wants to resurrect her dead heirs, and Teacher Charles also wants to protect his children, even if these children are created by demons... After Teacher Charles knows the truth, they will inevitably conflict."

Faced with this unsolvable problem, Sirna only felt guilty, so during that time, she looked for something to do like crazy, hoping to forget these uncomfortable choices.

As an outstanding magician who was rare in the world at that time, during that time, Sirna used her amazing magic to assist the craftsmen in Ipoli to build several literacy schools with thousands of students.

A new type of city fortifications was rebuilt for Ipoli, and barriers that could defend against high-level destructive spells were built.

The printing technology has been improved and tens of thousands of common language textbooks for literacy have been published on a large scale for literacy and enlightenment education.She also selected and trained a group of magically gifted people - all of which took her only two or three months.

Hilna has served in the Holy See for many years and has personally received guidance from the Pope. Her talent and experience in these matters are far beyond ordinary people, and her natural efficiency is amazing.

But what drove her to make these contributions was her inner guilt.

Charles looked at Sirna who was busy with various tasks, and he didn't understand why she was working so hard, and wanted to persuade her to take a rest.However, Lovna, who was watching with cold eyes, was much more sensitive than Ciel, and she sensed the guilty conscience hidden under her sister's efforts.

Lovna also discovered that her sister did not seem to be very sincere towards Sharlanna and other children.

But she wasn't sure, so she just reminded her beloved children to stay away from Sirna.

The other children obeyed Lovna's words and avoided Sirna.Only Sherlana, who is the eldest sister and usually has a gentler personality, is willing to communicate with Sherna.

Although Sher Lana also knew that this Ms. Sirna had just returned from the Holy See and was probably the same type of person as Monroe who almost killed all her brothers and sisters, she was still willing to show kindness to Sirna. .

Seeing this smiling and patient black-haired girl, Sirna wanted to trust her.

But every time she recalled Sharlanna's appearance of killing her enemies, she still felt worried.

When the two were talking, they inevitably mentioned the killings Sharlanna had caused when she suppressed the riots in the past.

In this regard, Sharlana’s explanation is:

"Today's Ipoli needs our efforts: the riots need our suppression, the people need our protection, the war needs our guidance... This power is our responsibility. I am not an ordinary child, I want to help my father and sister Lovna realize their ideals . I may have blood on my hands, and maybe killing will make me cold and cruel, but it is worth it."

"How can this be worth it? You will be eroded by the power of the underworld." Sirna reminded.

"If I am really corrupted and gradually become bloodthirsty and murderous, my father and sister Luovna will remind me and stop me. I can also correct myself." She didn't mind.

Sirna shook her head and expressed her disapproval:

"But what if Ciel and Lovna leave? You know, even a person with high magical talent like me, relying on the blessing of magic power, has a limited lifespan, and it is impossible to resurrect from the dead. But what about you? You You and your brothers and sisters can be reborn with only one head left.

"Wait until your father, Lovna... one after another pass away. Wait until you find that the people you are familiar with are getting old one by one, but you and your brothers and sisters are still young and strong.

"Imagine that all the people are crawling at your feet. As long as you let those complete strangers die, you can become stronger; if you let mortals kill each other, you can live a long life... At that time, you can still Are you so gentle and kind? Do you still think that you are the same kind as ordinary people?"

After thinking about the world after Lovna and Charles left, Sher Lana would indeed feel a sense of sadness.

This problem that she had never thought about in the past was now bothering her.

She didn't want her father and sister Lovna to leave like this, leaving the seven brothers and sisters to spend a long and endless life in a strange world, and she didn't want them to turn into cold-blooded rulers little by little as time went by. .

"At that time, I didn't know..." Sharlanna could only reply.

Looking at the girl's slightly depressed face, Sirna felt that her question was a bit cruel.

But she also knew that the question she asked hit home.

In the days that followed, Sirna also heard some rumors from the West.

The news that the Pope had used Netherworld magic to forge miracles had spread to the far East through word of mouth and aggravation.

People say that in the core of the Western Holy See, the great glorious capital, unspeakable miracles have appeared one after another.There are souls of the dead reappearing in the world, there are fruit trees and grains that grow wildly without the need for farming, there are magnificent cities that rise from the ground overnight...

Charles scoffed at these rumors, thinking that they were either exaggerated claims by believers, or that the Holy See was using magic to deceive believers. In fact, he guessed that he was very close to the truth. Therefore, compared to those rumors, he cared more about himself. The task at hand.

Only Sirna knew that those miracles were brought by the children of Ciel.

The power of the Netherworld breaks the shackles of life and death for mortals in a twisted way. Although it can create these miracles, the price it demands is also unacceptable to ordinary people, and it is destined to only bring pain.

The power of the Nether Realm is the source of evil.

The delusions of the deceased should have been silent in the underworld, but due to the appearance of the devil, they were led to the human world and forced on these children.

Therefore, they will be imprisoned and used.Even if there are people who truly love them, the sibling relationship may deteriorate due to the fact that the relationship is exploited.Their own human nature may also be distorted by this power.

Perhaps, this is the purpose of the devil.

Sirna felt like she had figured it out.

As long as these children's power from the underworld is stripped away and they can become pure humans, there will no longer be any related disputes.

Hilna said: “After the idea took shape in my mind, the more I thought about it, the more feasible it became.

"Strip away the power of the underworld that these demons have imposed on these children, and let them turn back into real mortals with life, old age, illness and death. Don't let them bear these unnecessary fates anymore.

"They should be like ordinary children, living normally, enjoying father's and mother's love, growing up, and then facing their respective deaths.

"As long as those powers can return to the Nether Realm, then the Pope will have no reason to imprison those children, and Sharlanna and the others will not have to bear responsibilities that they should not bear. They will no longer have to fight and kill everywhere, let alone worry about being corrupted by power.

"I'm not Lovna. I don't need to rely on these children to take on the important task of defending the country and suppressing rebellion. Nor should these tasks be handed over to a group of immature children. I am the best magician myself. He is the one who has the ability to shoulder the responsibility.”

“So, under an opportunity, I left Ipoli, returned to the Holy See, and met the Pope again.

"I made up a lie in order to save the children she imprisoned.

"I claim that I will help her extract the power of the underworld from those children. By then, the power will belong to the Pope, and she can use it to resurrect her children, create miracles and deceive believers. But I only want the seven lost ones. Children of power, I want to reunite them with Ciel.

“The Pope also agreed at that time.

"But, in fact, my plan is to completely dispel the power of these children and let this power return to Hades. Let the Pope wake up from her crazy and paranoid ideals. In this way, whether it is St. Ann IV, whom I once respected, Still the teacher I love deeply, the children I promised to save... will not be let down."

————*****————

In the villa in Lovnaniya City, Hilna and Wuming had a long conversation all night long.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter.The dim morning light shined through the window on the two of them.

When Sirna said this, Wuming felt that he had understood the cause and effect of the matter, and he could probably guess why Sirna felt that she had made a big mistake.

Her plan probably didn't work out as she expected.

At this time, the feeling of fatigue gradually came over.

Wuming felt a little sleepy, but she still held on to her energy and wanted to finish listening to Sirna's story.

But Sirna noticed the noise upstairs.

"It seems that Teacher Charles and Lovna are about to wake up." She sighed: "In order to defend myself, I unknowingly kept talking for so long... I have to leave too. Wuming, I'm sorry to leave you alone. Stayed up late."

Although it was a pity that Wuming could not wait until Sirna said the ending, out of politeness, she responded: "It's okay. I think this is a good opportunity to get to know you. I'm glad you can tell me this."

Seeing that Charles was going downstairs soon, Hilna obviously didn't want to face her teacher, so she insisted on leaving.

Wuming could only advise her:

"Miss Sirna, I can feel that Sir Charles does not blame you. He loves you as much as Miss Elovna. If you feel guilty, it is better to explain to him face to face."

"I'm a selfish woman, forget it..." She shook her head, stood up and left her seat: "Wu Ming, if you are really curious, you can ask Teacher Charles. He may give you the answer. I also hope that he I really don’t mind, but I can’t lie to myself.”

After saying that, the blue-haired queen stood up and left her seat.

Then, her graceful and graceful figure slowly faded, becoming more and more transparent, until she completely disappeared.

She left.

140. To escape or not

The moment Sirna disappeared, Wuming turned around and met Ciel's gaze.

"Lord Charles, are you awake?"

"Ah."

After going downstairs, Charles didn't say anything when he saw Wuming sitting at the dining table who hadn't slept all night.

He actually knew that Sirna had been here last night.

Although Sirna lowered her voice last night, concealed her aura, and tried her best not to be noticed by the teacher, Charles could still sense Sirna's arrival.

She has been trapped in the guilt and self-blame of the past, thinking that she has failed Charles, which makes him helpless.

Charles also knew that both of his students had their own problems: Lovna was too emotional, straightforward and impulsive, while Sirna was too rational, introverted and sad.

Although the two have very different personalities, what they have in common is that they are both trapped in the past.

Lovna hopes to know the truth about the past, while Hilna hopes to be truly forgiven by him.

They don't understand why Ciel suddenly left a thousand years ago, and they are still haunted by the regrets of the past.They could only wait for thousands of years, convinced that their teacher Charles had never left this world, and they had been searching for his traces for a long time. Only now did they find clues and follow them.

In order to renew their relationship and settle their grudges.

But it was difficult for Ciel to give them a suitable explanation.

This was the reason why he had been avoiding these two students, and why even after a thousand years, he would rather live on that island far away from the mainland than see them again.

"Wu Ming, did Hilna come last night?" Thinking of this, he calmly asked the blond girl in front of him: "Did she say anything to you?"

Wuming nodded: "Well, Miss Sirna has been here... She told me a lot of things last night: the Pope's true identity and intentions, how she met your heir, and what she did after returning to her hometown. Everything... was told to me.

"She also said that due to her 'ambition and greed', she took advantage of your children, Lord Ciel, deprived them of their power, and used them as tools... Of course, I feel that she was exaggerating due to excessive guilt. However, she left before she could explain the situation."

"It seems that she still doesn't want to see me. She can only let down her guard when facing you." Charles said helplessly: "Next time, if she comes to see you again, remember to tell her for me: I I have never held a grudge against her, and I have always missed her. I hope she can let go of the past and stop worrying about things that happened 1000 years ago."

"I will tell you." Wuming solemnly nodded: "I can feel her feelings for you, and I also hope that she can talk to you face to face to resolve the knot, but I find it a bit difficult - after all, I don't know you well. What happened to her, and Miss Sirna is so stubborn, even a little paranoid..."

"Wu Ming, just convey the message to me." Charles expressed his gratitude to this family member who has always been considerate and reliable: "Thank you for your hard work, and I have to trouble you to be the messenger."

But after the long conversation last night, Wuming actually had his own ideas.

Seeing that Ciel was about to turn around and go to the study to continue reading, Wuming hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and tugged on Ciel's clothes.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Charles turned to look at Wuming.

After some thought, Wuming made up his mind and expressed his doubts to Ciel:

"Master Charles, actually, I don't understand either. You should also love Miss Silna and Miss Lovna, but if you really miss them so much, why did you choose to leave them a thousand years ago?

"If at that time, there was something unspeakable about your departure that you couldn't tell directly, then why, in the years after you took me in, would you rather live in seclusion on that isolated island castle with nothing to do? Are you willing to take the initiative to find them?

"If Miss Lovna hadn't been chasing after her, I'm afraid you would have continued to hide, right?

"Your behavior is indeed very contradictory, and there is no reasonable explanation. If I were Miss Sirna, facing the teacher who has avoided me for thousands of years, I am afraid that I would also be panicked and worried that it was my fault that caused the loss of my family. The teacher was disappointed and alienated.

"So, Sir Charles, I feel that now, whether it is Lovna who is sulking with you or Sirna who is afraid to see you, they all need you to tell them frankly: what have you experienced and why do you want to Separate from them for a thousand years. This way they can face you without any grudges.

"You can run away no longer, Lord Charles.

"No matter what the reason is that drives you to make a decision, if you really regard Lovna and Silna as your students and as lovers you can rely on, then you should also be honest with them.

"Please don't make excuses to avoid this by saying things like 'This is all for their own good' or 'The past is past.' Only face the past honestly, tell them the truth, and let them share this past with you. Only by leaving behind the past can you and them be happy in the future."

Wu Ming, who had never spoken at length in the past, rarely spoke so much to Ciel at once.

In the past few months, since arriving in Lovnania, through a series of chance encounters, she has truly gotten to know Lord Charles, whom she was so in awe of in the past.

At this time, she no longer regarded Charles as that unreachable and unfathomable outsider, but truly regarded Charles as someone who had ideals, emotions, regrets, and shortcomings just like herself. of people.

She felt that Ciel was actually very similar to his two students.

The glorious images of the two queens in history books are awe-inspiring, but when you really cut them open and look at their hearts, you can feel that they are always two souls that cannot be completed.Their lives gained meaning because of Ciel and they embarked on their own paths.

And the same goes for Ciel.

His past is empty.

He is a person from another world who cannot take root in this world and cannot find peace.

He also needs to work hard and sincerely, and needs these students who he has loved wholeheartedly to complete, so that he can be complete, gain belonging and stability.

In the past, when Charles still lived in that old castle and relied on Nameless to take care of his daily life, his main entertainment was reading.

In that study room, tens of thousands of books are displayed in tall iron cabinets, like a forest composed of metal tree trunks and paper leaves.Among them, many books are historical documents about the Ipoli Empire.
