On the occasion of collapse

The house was dark, the curtains were drawn tightly, and no sunlight could penetrate.

Looking at the dark room, Theresa put the things she was holding on the shoe cabinet at the door and prepared to walk into the living room and open the curtains.

Empty wine bottles were scattered everywhere in the living room, and Theresa frowned, obviously knowing what was going on.

She just came last night, and today it became like this.

"Well, don't close the curtains." On the sofa where there were several empty wine bottles, an unkempt figure wrapped himself in a blanket and said slowly.

"Siegfried, why are you so drunk again!" Theresa looked at this unkempt man and couldn't help but feel angry in her heart.

"Kiana didn't see me, she was still sleeping." Siegfried didn't agree with Theresa's words. He always drank while Kiana was sleeping.

"Then you can't just be like this! If Kiana knew about it, she would be sad!" Theresa knew that losing her mother was too cruel for a child less than two years old, so everyone in Destiny agreed. Tell Kiana that Cecilia just went to work.

But this lie could only deceive the young Kiana, but not the adult Siegfried.

"..." Siegfried fell silent. He also knew that he could not continue to be so decadent.

Bai Zhi, who had been standing in the entrance hall, was listening to the conversation between the two, holding her arm with her right hand, as if thinking about something.

After a while, Bai Zhi let go of her hand, as if she had made up her mind.

Slowly walking into the living room, Bai Zhi walked straight to the window and suddenly opened the curtains.

The dazzling sunlight instantly shone into the room. Siegfried, who had been in a dark environment, squinted his eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable with the warm sunlight.

"Siegfried Kaslana, it's time to get up." Bai Zhi slowly turned around, looked at Siegfried sitting on the sofa, and stretched out her hand.

Hearing this voice, Siegfried's eyes widened suddenly. He looked at Bai Zhi standing in front of him and his throat moved.

'Siegfried Kaslana!Time to wake up!Get up! When Siegfried was a child, he liked to stay in bed, so Bai Zhi would often go to the dormitory to catch Siegfried lying in bed. Usually at this time, Siegfried would be picked up from the bed by Bai Zhi by his ears.

'teacher!I just stayed in bed for a while!Just for a moment! '

Thinking of the childhood scene, Siegfried lowered his head. After a while, he raised his head again and held Bai Zhi's hand.

"Teacher, I just stayed in bed for a while." Siegfried lifted the blanket on his body and slowly sat up.

........

"Siegfried, I'm sorry, it was my negligence that caused..." Sitting opposite Siegfried, Bai Zhi said slowly.

"No, teacher, it's not your fault. No one knows how the Second Herrscher did it, right?" Interrupting Bai Zhi, Siegfried did not think that Bai Zhi was responsible for this battle.

On the contrary, he thought it was because of destiny.

Otto did not announce the phone call between him and Cecilia at that time, nor did he announce the reaction to the Second Herrscher's Honkai Energy increase at the end.

So Siegfried and many people familiar with the matter think.

The Archbishop of Destiny, Otto Apokalis, fired a Honkai fission bomb at the seriously injured Cecilia for his own selfish purposes, causing Cecilia and the Second Herrscher to die together.

This is another level of 'truth'.

Yes, people firmly believe that what they believe is the only truth, whether it is true or not, at least in their eyes, this is the truth.

"..." Bai Zhi knew that Siegfried must hate fate and Otto now, but she couldn't tell Siegfried everything.

In fact, even if you tell me, it doesn't matter.

Because the Honkai fission bomb ordered by Otto killed Cecilia, this is a fact.

Sitting in the living room, Bai Zhi didn't know what she could say.

The power of language seems very pale at this moment.

"What...are you going to do in the future?" Knowing that Siegfried didn't want to discuss this topic, Bai Zhi changed the subject and asked Siegfried instead what he was going to do in the future.

"Me? I want to wait for Kiana to grow up first. I promised Cecilia that I will take good care of Kiana and let her grow up healthy." Siegfried grabbed his hand and said He spoke slowly but firmly.

"That's it..." Listening to Siegfried's words, Bai Zhi also knew that Kiana was Siegfried's last reason to stay in Tianming.

As a combination of Kaslana and Shaniyat, Otto had great expectations for Kiana from the moment she was born.

As parents, Siegfried and Cecilia are both very powerful, and as their daughter, Kiana is definitely not low in talent.

From the beginning, Otto was looking forward to what kind of surprise Kiana could bring him.

As for Kiana's surveillance, although it was not that strict, it was definitely not relaxed.

Siegfried also knew this, and he was not going to take the risk of leaving with Kiana.

He knew that he did not have the ability to escape from destiny with the still young Kiana.

And the people around you may not necessarily help you.

Poria and Angelica are Otto's sisters and will definitely support Otto.

And Theresa is Otto's granddaughter.

The remaining people Siegfried knew were not capable of helping Siegfried take this risk.

unless.....

"I'm going to see Kiana." Looking at Siegfried who was silent, Bai Zhi stopped talking to Siegfried and instead walked towards Kiana's room.

"Yeah." Siegfried only slightly agreed, but didn't say anything.

......

Walking to Kiana's door, Bai Zhi could hear Theresa and Kiana's voices in the house.

"Kiana, be good, hurry up and eat your food." Theresa's voice came clearly into Bai Zhi's ears.

"But I'm not hungry yet." Kiana's soft voice sounded like she had just woken up.

"Then you can't skip eating. Be good, take a bite first."

"Well...Kiana doesn't want to eat..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Bai Zhi did not choose to go in. Instead, she just leaned against the door and listened quietly.

Sure enough, she was still a little afraid to face Kiana.

.......

Ten minutes later, Teresa finally coaxed Kiana to finish her meal, but when she walked out, Bai Zhi was not found.

"Siegfried, where is the second aunt?" Theresa asked, looking at Siegfried sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"The teacher said she's going back first, and she still has tasks to do." Siegfried remembered what Bai Zhi had said to him, and repeated the words.

"That's it." Theresa blinked, guessing that Bai Zhi probably didn't know how to face the still innocent Kiana.

"Then Siegfried, I'll leave first. How about bringing Kiana to my place for dinner tonight? I'll use magic to make some delicious food." Said with a smile, Theresa was the first to start. The one who recovered from the grief of Celia's death.

"Well, it just so happened that Kiana made a fuss yesterday about going out to play." Although Siegfried was decadent, he could always cheer up quickly as long as Kiana was involved.

"Then it's settled, don't be too late..." Walking to the entrance, Theresa picked up the bag she had brought with her things, but her eyes froze when she landed on the place where the bag had been placed.

"Theresa, what's wrong?" Hearing Theresa's sudden voice, Siegfried also realized something was wrong and hurriedly came over.

Following Theresa's line of sight, Siegfried saw his very familiar old friend.

The sunlight shines through the open door and shines on the two guns, emitting a different light.

Chapter 510 Is it just a simple companionship...?

A few days later, in front of Siegfried's house.

Fuling stood here, quietly looking at this house that she had almost never been to.

Since Cecilia graduated from her, she has been reducing the number of times she meets Cecilia.

Even after Kiana was born, she only met Cecilia once, and never saw Kiana again after that.

She thought that this would reduce her bond with Cecilia, and she would not be so sad when she said goodbye.

Originally, she thought so.

But the fact is that once a bond is formed, it is not so easy to break free.

'If Siegfried and I don't come back alive, then teacher, please take Kiana in...'

Thinking of what Otto relayed to her, Fu Ling sighed slowly.

Now that Siegfried has survived, she doesn't need to take Kiana in, but...

Looking at her palms, Fu Ling seemed to be thinking about something.

'Teacher, can I live here? '

'certainly....'

'Teacher, I made a pot of tea. Although the taste may not be very good...but I will try to make it better! '

'Cecilia, congratulations on graduating from me. '

'teacher.....'

She still remembers the day she said Cecilia had graduated. Cecilia's eyes were full of reluctance, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't.

She didn't want to embarrass her teacher, so she wouldn't express her expectations.

Cecilia has been studying with Fu Ling for seven years. During these seven years, Fu Ling will be able to teach her a lot.

Teach her how to take care of herself, teach her to fight, teach her to live.

Cecilia's parents died when she was very young. If it weren't for her extremely high adaptability to Black Abyss White Flower, perhaps her fate would have been to be used as a tool of the family and sent for marriage.

Because of her talent, everyone in the family respects her and takes care of her, but... no one treats her as a family member...

Fu Ling's first person treated her as an ordinary child.

Poria took good care of her, which gave her the illusion...as if her mother was back.

Until she graduated from Fu Ling and left.

She didn't want to disappoint her teacher, so she gave her best to every task.

And the result did not live up to her efforts. In just two years, she went from an unknown E-class Valkyrie to an A-class Valkyrie directly under the bishop.

She originally thought she would make her teacher proud, but Fu Ling had no reaction.

She didn't know if she had done something wrong or if she hadn't done well enough.

Later, she met the man she was destined for.

Despite the difficulties, they finally came together.

On their wedding day, her parents walked her down the aisle.

Her parents had passed away long ago, and she hoped that... Poria could come and lead her through this red carpet.

But in the end she couldn't say it.

And Poria... didn't even show up at her wedding, but just asked Bai Zhi to bring a blessing.

She admitted that she was very disappointed at that time.

She still hopes that Poria cocos can participate in the major events in her life...

Later, she rarely saw Poria, and only met a few times in a few years.

After she gave birth to Qiana, Fu Ling came to see her once, and after that she only saw her teacher once.

She began to wonder, had she really let the teacher down in some way?

Or is she not good enough?

She didn't know, but such worries were useless.

Bai Zhi said she would ask for Cecilia, but... Cecilia did not wait until this time.

I couldn't get the answer from Poria either...

......

Looking at the door in front of her, Fuling slowly raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

"Here we come." After a moment of silence, Siegfried's voice sounded from inside the house, followed by the sound of footsteps.

"Theresa, you didn't lose the key..." Siegfried opened the door. He naturally thought that Theresa was here. After all, no one usually bothered him.
