"Lady Durandal, this Mr. 'Beichen Jiujiu' is probably not a simple person..."
Rita, who was once Otto's subordinate, naturally wouldn't believe that Otto was merely investigating the heir of a Far Eastern family.
But as Rita whispered in Durandal's ear, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She actually saw a wavering expression on Durandal's face.
Upon hearing the name Beichen Jiujiu, Youlandail was slightly taken aback. The dream that had troubled her for a long time resurfaced in her mind, causing a wavering expression to appear on her face.
But Durandal is, after all, the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, and those trivial and vague memories cannot make her succumb to them or shake her mind.
Even so, Durandal noticed that Otto was investigating Kita no Sakeki and had deliberately kept it from her, which meant that this matter was definitely not simple.
"Alvit, tell me quickly, why is Lord Otto investigating the young master of the Beichen family?"
Hearing Durandal's question, Alvit shook her head with a grim expression: "Lady Durandal, I was only following orders, and I don't know why I was being investigated..."
"But... when Lord Otto gave me the order, he looked very anxious, as if he cared a lot about him."
Bishop Otto always kept his actions secret and rarely revealed his full intentions to his subordinates. But the more Otto kept it a secret, the more persistent Durandal's doubts and dreams became.
"Alvit, hand over all the intelligence you've gathered to me immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Alvitt disregarded Bishop Otto's order to keep it a secret and handed over the computer containing Jojo's data to Durandal.
In the eyes of the members of the Undying Blade squad, Durandal was their true direct superior and the most authoritative woman.
"This Beichen Jiujiu's information is indeed extraordinary. He slew a demon at the age of 10, mastered the Beichen Ittō-ryū style to its peak at the age of 12, and became the strongest Beichen Ittō-ryū practitioner at the age of 14. His talent is unparalleled. However... three years ago, his whereabouts suddenly disappeared in Changkong City. Recently, news of him came from a group gathering of ME Corporation."
Alvit told Durandal everything she knew, speaking without restraint: "Not only is his family powerful and wealthy, but he is also exceptionally talented and handsome. He is the most suitable man for marriage that I have ever met. Is Lady Durandal also interested in him?"
Hearing this, Rita smiled slightly, feeling absurd. In her opinion, no man in the world was worthy of Durandal, whom she admired, and she would never give up her place beside Durandal to anyone else.
Despite Alvite's praise of Beichen Jiujiu as perfect, Durandal scoffed, "I am the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal. Fighting the Honkai and saving humanity is my innate ability. Romantic relationships are just stories in novels to me."
For Durandal, the statement "Men only hinder my speed in drawing my gun" is not an exaggeration at all.
As the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, and the goddess in the hearts of countless men and women, she never thought of letting any man touch her.
While listening to Alvit's words, Durandal opened Kita no Shoji's file.
The next second, Durandal saw a photo of Jojo and Mei on her laptop. The two of them were standing close together, looking very intimate.
As Durandal looked at the photo of the boy with sickly pale skin, pale purple eyes, and a face as exquisite and beautiful as a doll, memories of her time with Jojo suddenly flooded her mind.
In the dark and dimly lit interrogation room, Qiao Qiao held a whip in his hand to discipline him, and he shamelessly asked him to use more force.
The two traveled together to Anti-Entropy, betraying fate and seizing the core of the Herrscher of Wind.
And the night Durandal gave Jojo her most precious possession.
Durandal had always been very strict with herself and had never had any intimate contact with any man. But at this moment, she was seeing a completely different version of herself. She was much older than Jojo and was a Valkyrie, yet she was being wantonly played with by the World Serpent Torturer and had given him the most precious things she had as a young girl.
As memories of being trained by Qiao Qiao flooded back, Durandal recalled her unmasked self in front of Qiao Qiao, as if she had touched some forbidden knowledge and tasted the sweet and tempting sweetness. Her face flushed red, and she felt an incomparably hot desire surging deep within her body, making her restless and anxious.
Chapter 177 Durandal's Pursuit of Her Husband in the Cremation Ground
Looking at the handsome, dark-haired boy in the photo on Alvira's laptop, Durandal's dormant memories were completely awakened.
In the dark and enclosed chamber, Durandal's slender, fair hands were bound and suspended in mid-air. The black-haired boy looked at Durandal, his purple eyes flashing with an unusual light, and the smile on his lips was full of amusement.
At ME headquarters, Jojo held a chain with handcuffs at the top, using her as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Cocolia.
At the Destiny New Zealand base, Durandal watched helplessly as Jojo soared high above, using the power of the Herrscher of Wind to destroy the entire base, her expression still filled with horror and fear.
In the underground chamber, the virgin Durandal and Jojo spent a passionate and fiery night together.
As her memories resurface, Durandal recalls all the moments she shared with Jojo in the past...
Beneath the lush, towering tree, Jojo, in order to allow Durandal and the Valkyrie of the Undying Blade to escape the World Serpent and avoid the punishment of fate, handed the Black Abyss to Durandal and pierced his own body.
Durandal held Jojo's cold body, her hands stained with blood, tears streaming down her face like a broken beaded curtain.
“I remembered everything…Jojo.”
A glistening tear rolled down Durandal's cheek as she sobbed and spoke in a trembling voice.
"I'm sorry...it's all my fault. You loved me so much, but I always doubted you, and in the end, I pushed you to your death..."
Yulandel looked at Jojo's photo with tears glistening in her eyes, her heart filled with regret and guilt.
When Rita saw Durandal lose control of her emotions and burst into tears, her usually composed and elegant face showed surprise. It was the first time she had ever seen the self-disciplined, confident, and strong Durandal appear so vulnerable and pitiful.
Who is the person in the notebook photo?
Why is Bianca so concerned?
Before Rita could even glance at Jojo's photo on the computer, she quickly went to Durandal's side, picked up a handkerchief that smelled of a girl's fragrance, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, asking softly, "Lady Durandal, are you alright?"
Durandal broke down in tears because of a man, which surprised Rita. But for Rita, the man's identity was important, but not nearly as important as Durandal.
As a maid and adjutant, helping and supporting Durandal is her duty.
As long as it's for Durandal, her own feelings are completely unimportant.
Hearing Rita's worried voice, Durandal snapped out of her reverie and turned to her gently, saying, "I'm fine, I just suddenly remembered someone very important to me..."
Rita was a little puzzled about who the important person Durandal was referring to was, but considering that Durandal was emotionally agitated and needed time to calm herself down, she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she gave an elegant and gentle smile and said, "Since he is an important person in Lady Durandal's heart, then he is also an important person in Rita's heart."
When Rita said that Jojo was an important person to her, Durandal didn't feel particularly strange. She was just happy to have such a good friend by her side.
Otherwise, the pain of killing Qiaoqiao with her own hands would surely break her in an instant.
Durandal still remembers that after she killed Jojo, the entire timeline underwent a dramatic change.
Her mother, Cecilia Schariac, did not die on the battlefield of the Second Honkai Impact 3rd; she simply disappeared mysteriously from the battlefield in Siberia along with the Second Herrscher, Sirin.
When Siegfried betrayed Destiny, he tried to take Durandal with him, but he failed. However, she did not lose her memory as a result.
She remembered that she had a cute little sister named Kiana who looked exactly like her.
At the same time, she also recalled the previous timeline, when she was a child, the handsome, introverted and shy genius inventor she met in the mansion, with whom she made a marriage contract.
So... Qiaoqiao, that night, the person you loved most was me...
Everything you've done is for me...
Knowing that Jojo had fallen into darkness and become a World Executive because of her, Durandal felt even more guilty towards Jojo.
Although Durandal was unaware that Jojo had used a special card-based Mystic Code to sacrifice a large amount of Honkai energy and life to change the world line, she still keenly sensed that the sudden change in the world line occurred at the same time as Jojo's death, which was likely related to Jojo himself.
But... I clearly pierced Qiao Qiao's body with the Black Abyss myself, so why is he still alive?
Could it be... Qiaoqiao, that you're hiding something from me?
In Durandal's view, Jojo, as the interrogator of the World Serpent, is not only a genius scientist who invented anti-Honkai energy potions, but also possesses the power of a fusion warrior and can even seize the power of the Herrscher of the Wind.
Even if someone like Qiao Qiao were to understand the principles of the world and enter the realm of gods, it would be quite possible for her to reverse the timeline.
Jojo, did you sacrifice yourself and change the world line to save me and Lady Cecilia?
Thinking of this, a warm current surged through Yulandel's usually cold heart, and her gaze towards Qiaoqiao's photo held a hint of indescribable love.
In Durandal's eyes, there would never be another man in the world who loved her like Jojo.
Although Durandal didn't understand why Jojo had pretended to die at her hands, since he was still alive, Durandal would definitely not miss him again.
Durandal gazed tenderly at Jojo's photo, then a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes.
In the photo, Jojo is arm in arm with a gentle and lovely black-haired beauty, their bodies pressed close together, looking very intimate. This made Durandal feel a little jealous, and she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Alvit, who is the girl in this photo?"
"Ok?"
Hearing Durandal's question, Alvit leaned closer and saw Raiden Mei. Completely oblivious to Durandal's displeased expression, she said without any concealment, "He is the fiancé of the young master of the Kita-Shinobi family in the photo—Miss Raiden Mei!"
It turns out that the young master of the Beichen family, Beichen Jiujiu, is the Qiaoqiao I've been longing for.
But how could he be engaged to another woman?!
Durandal knew about the engagement between Jojo and Mei, and the joy on her face when she saw Jojo again vanished abruptly, her face turning as pale as snow.
Alvit was completely oblivious to Durandal's unpleasant expression. She was filled with longing for Mei and Jojo, a perfect couple, and her eyes sparkled like stars.
"This Miss Mei is a lady from the Far East Raiden family. Not only is she beautiful and well-educated, but she is also a powerful Valkyrie. She and Young Master Beichen Jiujiu are a match made in heaven!"
Are Qiao Qiao and this woman a match made in heaven?!
Durandal staggered, nearly losing her balance and falling to the ground, her eyes glistening with tears.
Qiaoqiao, you faked your death at my hands, just to abandon me and marry this woman?!
But you were willing to give up your life for me...
Could it be... like you pretending to be dead in front of me...?
Were all those words you said about loving me lies? Were you just deliberately toying with my feelings?
Thinking of this, Yulandel clenched her teeth slightly and her slender, white fingers clenched into fists.
No... Even if Qiao Qiao is just toying with my feelings, I will never give up on him again.
Durandal looked up at Alvitt, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, and said solemnly, "Alvitt, where are Jojo and this woman now?"
Arvit was startled by Durandal's sharp and shrewd words, and trembled all over. Without thinking, she blurted out the answer.
"The eldest son of the Beichen family and Raiden Mei will officially get engaged tonight at the ME Corporation headquarters. High-ranking officials, representatives of financial groups, and leaders of organizations from all over the world will be present!"
Upon hearing that Jojo was getting married to Mei that night, Durandal became as anxious as a grasshopper on a hot plate, slammed the notebook she was holding onto the ground, and then turned and left.
Durandal knows that in the previous timeline, Jojo sacrificed his life to fulfill his promise, letting her and the members of the Undying Blade go.
However, he never believed in Qiaoqiao's love for him and made an irreparable mistake.
But since the world has given her another chance to choose, she can meet with Qiaoqiao again.
So... no matter what difficulties she encounters, Durandal will not let any other woman take Jojo away.
Durandal silently deployed her Valkyrie armor and flew towards the Far East into the sky.
Rita, Durandal's personal maid, was very worried about her current situation. Just as she was about to chase after her, she discovered that Durandal had already spread her fiery blue wings and soared into the dark night sky like a shooting star.
Even if Rita wanted to keep up with Durandal and leave with her, she couldn't.
Aylvit picked up the broken laptop from the ground with a pained expression, walked to her dormitory door, sighed, and said, "What's wrong with Lady Durandal today? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Upon hearing this, Rita's expression became complicated, and she gently shook her head: "I...don't know either."
As the person closest to Durandal, Rita always believed she understood Durandal's thoughts and feelings.
