The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

The other person's appearance made it difficult for her to say anything harsh.

This little guy's acting skills are really impressive.

They can even make that kind of expression.

Kiana had an urge to spank the other person; this little guy was just too outrageous!

However, this is in line with her style.

"Kiana, I'm your savior! How can you look at me like that?"

That adorable face instantly transformed into a pitiful, puffy face, and her large, dark, bright eyes became a little moist.

That sight was truly heartbreaking.

"My savior?" Kiana raised an eyebrow.

"Sister Kiana, have you forgotten? At that banquet, if I hadn't arrived in time, you would probably be dead already."

The little guy blinked as he spoke, his expression becoming serious, and he blinked a few times every now and then.

Seeing this, Kiana raised an eyebrow, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"you sure?"

She glanced sideways at the Duke, who looked on with curiosity, and Emilia, the elector she was supporting, and instantly realized that Sirin was putting on a good show.

"Of course, Kiana, you haven't forgotten anything, have you?"

After hearing what the other person said, Kiana stroked her chin:

"Hmm... I might have forgotten to order. Sorry for the trouble."

"Nothing much. Do you really have no needs whatsoever? If it's not money, then it's probably for power."

The Duke smiled, then slowly extended his hand, gesturing for Kiana to look at Emilia.

Only after the white-haired girl of unknown origin did as he was told did he cross his arms.

"I can't decide on the title, but if you have any ideas, you can ask Emilia to grant them."

"Ah... if you insist on doing it this way..."

Kiana stared at Emilia's beautiful face for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Well, it seems I'll have to offer some kind of reward this time?

Since everyone's so enthusiastic...

Finally, after careful consideration, Kiana slowly nodded.

"If that's the case, I request... that Miss Emilia be conferred the title of Honorary Knight."

"Huh? Glory Knight, this..."

Emilia covered her mouth, quite surprised by Kiana's request.

This honorary knight is no ordinary person; he is a prominent figure among the nobles.

If the guardian is the first to inherit the throne, then the accompanying knights will become the most illustrious knights of the royal family.

This honor can be said to be renowned throughout the capital.

The Duke seemed somewhat hesitant about such a request.

"So this is what you need? Hmm... Hahaha, that's quite a surprise. Giving it away to a stranger so easily is not my style."

Roswaal had just said he respected Emilia's choice, but now he's saying it's not his style.

This shows that he does have his own ulterior motives, but as for why... we'll have to wait and see.

Emilia clearly realized something was wrong and turned to look at her supporter, Duke Roswaal.

"What's wrong, Roswaal?"

Emilia asked, her eyes wide and adorable. After hearing Kiana's request, she felt she should do something, otherwise Kiana might misunderstand her.

She's helping Kiana now, and there's really no reason for her to refuse.

"Haha... Emilia, you are so adorable. I wonder if you would be willing to make this girl your honorary knight? If you agree to grant her the honorary knighthood, I will not interfere."

Roswaal clapped his hands, just as Rem finished grilling her steak.

Only after the fragrant steak was placed in front of Kiana did he smile and signal her to continue eating.

Generally speaking, people who are even slightly hesitant will not actually continue eating at this moment.

However, the reality far exceeded Roswaal's expectations...

Thank you for your hospitality.

Kiana completely ignored Roswaal's words and picked up her knife and fork to start eating without saying a word.

As she finished another steak, a happy expression appeared on her face.

It was as if no honorary knighthood, no election, no high-ranking bishop was more important than the meal in front of them.

Seeing Kiana's reaction, Roswaal's expression turned somewhat awkward. He had originally thought that Kiana would decline, but he did not expect that she would agree without hesitation.

He acted like nothing had happened, you could say...

“Amelia. Are you really willing to pass on your honorary knighthood to her? If so, this girl will have all your faith, and she will be your most loyal servant.”

Roswaal turned to Emilia and asked her with a smile.

His smile was so gentle, but in Emilia's eyes, it seemed somewhat insincere.

"...Let Kiana decide on the matter of bestowing the title of Honorary Knight; I don't have the time for that."

Emilia shook her head, not taking Roswaal's words to heart.

If the girl simply wanted the position of Honorary Knight, Emilia would be willing to agree, after all, the other party was the highly skilled Kiana, a master who could fight several people and even take down the famous Bowel Hunter.

If I get closer to him, my safety will definitely be guaranteed.

Should we... just go along with her idea?

"Kiana, I didn't expect you to think so far ahead. Well~ anyway, I'm glad you're willing to help me."

"Huh? Uh, um... um! That's right, that's it."

After eating a few more pieces of steak, Kiana finally felt her hunger subside.

However, she was somewhat puzzled by Emilia and Roswaal's reactions.

Isn't this honorary knight just a knight in name only?

Didn't Mondstadt give one to Luminosity back then? So, there's really nothing to it, right?

But why are Emilia and Roswaal making those faces?

It's really baffling.

Kiana wiped her mouth and then planned to have a detailed talk with Roswaal, but to her surprise, he got up and left, and no one knew what he was doing.

The departure of the homeowner led Rem and Ram to bow and take their leave.

After everyone left, only he and Emilia remained in the restaurant.

"What's going on here?"

Kiana, feeling utterly confused, looked at Emilia, wondering what had happened.

"Ah~ it's nothing. Get some rest, Kiana. Please take care of me from now on."

Kiana was completely bewildered as she watched Emilia get up to say goodbye.

Feeling utterly confused, she returned to her room, intending to change out of the maid outfit she had never worn before.

"Don't sleep, go sleep in her room. Otherwise... something terrible will happen."

"What?"

Kiana was stunned by Sirin's words.

If Miracles Have Colors (re0): Chapter Twenty-Two: The Princess and the Knight's Guardian Night

"Something terrible?"

Kiana didn't know what the terrible thing was, but she knew that Sirin wouldn't say such a thing for no reason; if she said it, there must be some basis for it.

"You mean you want me to stay in her room all night and keep watch over her?"

"If possible, it would be best if we slept in the same bed." Xilin blinked, unusually not choosing to answer with a smile.

"Huh?"

Kiana exclaimed in surprise. This was no easy task for her, especially to sleep in the same bed with someone else. Although she knew that Sirin must have had a purpose in doing this, she still found it incredible, as it sounded absurd.

"This is just a suggestion. If you think it's too difficult, that's okay. You can do it yourself. I'm not forcing you to listen to me."

After seeing Kiana's surprised expression, Sirin told Kiana the whole story directly, and she really didn't intend to force Kiana.

"If you find this hard to accept, why don't you go back to sleep? But I believe you're smart enough not to make such a foolish choice, because you should still remember."

“I should remember… remember what? What you said before?” Kiana stroked her chin, thought for a moment, and then stared at Sirin.

"Otherwise? I should have told you, you only have one chance. If something goes wrong, things will get really bad. Let me give you another hint, that little cat named Parker... is no ordinary cat."

this...

Why does this sound a little strange?

That little cat named Parker is something else?

What makes it so unusual?

Kiana sat cross-legged on the bed, her hands supporting her legs encased in white stockings, and hesitated.

Although I just received the title of Honorary Knight, if I went there now...

That's a bit strange.

"This seems a bit tricky. Sirin, do you have any suggestions?"

"Huh? Why are you asking me that?"
