Chapter 1909: Warning from the Seniors

Marika's pupils vibrated, and for a moment she thought she was under too much pressure and had misheard, but her hearing was very sharp, so she understood it clearly.

Dan Kelly was saying that the Giens were "love-brained." This term is a popular word that came from foreigners, and to be honest, it is not a word with a positive meaning.

If Dan Kelly wasn't also a Giron, she would have thought Dan Kelly was criticizing her.

"Are you serious?"

"Why, are you doubting my judgment, having three children and having lived in Giaines for so many years?"

"Three?! How come I never knew about this? As the leader of the group, I should have attended the wedding to offer my blessings and gifts, and there are so many other etiquettes..."

Marika's pupils trembled again. This was a much greater shock to her than the saying that the people of Giens were love-brained. She became flustered in an instant.

Dan Kelly is the deputy commander and her adjutant, and she promoted him. After she steps down, he will be the next commander of the Royal Knights. She didn't even know about such an important thing as Dan Kelly getting married and having children.

This is a huge dereliction of duty.

Was she dismissed because she didn't do her job well?

The Red Dragon Marika was shaken like never before.

"Don't be so shaken. I'm 43 years old. I already had three children when I became a member of the Royal Knights." Dan Kelly put his hand on Marika's shoulder and comforted her helplessly.

"My youngest daughter is older than you."

Dan Kelly enjoyed Marika's expression very much. Although she told Marika her age because she wanted to give Marika some advice as a person with experience, she also had a little selfish motive, which was to enjoy the shock that her appearance and actual age gave to others.

Thinking that you look only 30 is different from thinking that others think you are only 30.

"43 years old? That means you were at most 41 or 42 years old a year and a half ago?" Marika's expression calmed down, as if she was thinking about something, and then she looked at Dan Kelly with a more scrutinizing expression.

As Marika's adjutant, Dan Kelly knew what Marika was thinking. He immediately reached out and pinched Marika's cheek with a forced smile.

"Are you wondering why he's only level 85 at such an old age?"

"No, I'm trying to make it up to you in my heart. Maybe you were too old to receive the blessing." Marika's face was serious, and there was no falsehood in her eyes.

That's why it's particularly hurtful.

"Unfortunately, although I didn't receive the blessing at the age of 14 like you, I didn't receive it too late either. I was 19. And just as you thought, I hid the fact that I had the blessing until a certain moment." Dan Kelly spread his hands, looking very calm.

"I want to be with my husband forever. As for whether or not to serve the Giant Kingdom, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid of death."

The blessed one who possesses an immortal body is actually afraid of death, but this is not an uncommon idea before the stranger's visit. No one really dares to risk his own life to try whether the blessing can really allow infinite resurrection.

What if the next time is the last time? What if differences between people lead to different times of resurrection?

After death, the blessed ones will turn into dust and be reborn in flames. Who can guarantee that they will still be themselves after being resurrected in that way?
After the strangers appeared and casually destroyed their lives in various ways, people became certain that the blessing could indeed bring infinite resurrection.

"But you joined the army before the strangers appeared, and were promoted directly to the Royal Knights because of the blessing."

"Don't make it sound like I'm a privileged class. This is the treatment for those who are blessed. It's strange for someone like you, the commander, to rise from a trainee soldier!"

Dan Kelly's eyes twitched, and he felt like wrinkles were about to appear because of Marika's straightforwardness.

She almost forgot her original intention. Dan Kelly waved her hand wearily.

"Aren't you just wondering why I suddenly changed my mind? It's because my husband died."

"The evil god Titan unleashed a beast tide that affected the village where I lived. My husband rescued me and the children, but he himself died in the beast tide."

Dan Kelly's expression was calm, because that happened twenty years ago, and even the regret in it had faded a lot.

If she had the power she has now, everything would be different.

Blessings are power, and those who receive them are chosen by God, possessing infinite resurrection lives to challenge the limits of life. But she avoids blessings, fearing death and the responsibilities that come with having power.

She thought she had made the most appropriate choice, giving up her power and becoming an ordinary person. In fact, she had only made the easiest choice for herself.

The result was the tragedy twenty years ago. Perhaps she was simply unlucky, but the undeniable fact is that she had better choices.

"You are far superior to me. At such a young age, you have already done things that I paid a price for. You chose power and the responsibility that comes with it. So I hope you won't end up like me in the future."

"It's so hard to be sober when you're in love and don't have a partner to fall in love with."

Marika pursed her lips. She wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.

This change in expression was particularly noticeable to Dan Kelly, who was used to Marika's cold demeanor. Being more than twice Marika's age, she naturally knew that Marika still had something to say.

She smiled knowingly, and using her taller stature than Marika, she made Marika turn around and face the battlefield.

"Don't tell me what you have to say. Tell it to your childhood sweetheart. This is the custom of the Giaiens people."

"You know?"

"It's strange that I don't know. Perhaps only Princess Farasha doesn't understand."

Dan Kelly pushed Marika hard towards the battlefield. Marika looked back and she raised her hand and waved at Marika.

"Goodbye, selfless Captain Marika."

……

Blaze turned his head and heard familiar, heavy footsteps, but there was still a sense of confusion that had not been seen for several years.

Now that I think about it, the red-haired girl is not as tall and strong as she looks. Perhaps she has never changed and is still as timid and hesitant as before, but it is just that everything she encountered in recent years was easy to deal with.

Perhaps it was because of what he didn't understand that the girl's red color became dim during the years he was away.

Unfortunately, that was the past and could not be changed. Six years ago, he made what he thought was the right choice, which was actually the easiest one.

That's why he will never make that mistake again.

"Listen up, dwarves inside. I'm here to invade you. No one will come to help you as a peacemaker. I'll give you one more chance."

"If you don't want to fight, come out and surrender!"
