The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

However, her face did not show any joy; instead, she looked worried and distressed.

"You are...cough cough cough!!! Rem, come back to your sister!"

Upon seeing Reinhard and Kiana, Ram shouted out fearlessly.

Unfortunately, Rem didn't comply; she simply picked up her weapon silently...

Kiana was slightly surprised to see the girl in front of her pick up a weapon.

"You still refuse to surrender?"

"What hope is there if we surrender to you?"

Rem's words were icy cold and tinged with deep despair: "My childhood experiences taught me that surrender and compromise will never end well. Don't even think about controlling us!"

Upon hearing Rem's reply, a glint flashed in Kiana's eyes.

Although the girl's words were harsh, they reminded Kiana of the pain they had endured.

"In that case, let's do it! I'll give it my all!"

Upon hearing Kiana's voice, Rem's fighting spirit surged instantly. Her eyes were fixed on Kiana, as if she would rush forward and tear Kiana to shreds at the slightest opening.

Kiana did not make a move.

"Don't you want to do it?"

Confused, Kiana reached out, trying to push Rem away and subdue her: "Then just stay put, and everything will be over when this is over."

However, before she could even touch the other party, the meteor hammer slammed down on her!

The meteor hammer is as fast as lightning and has immense power; it seems that even a glancing blow from it can be fatal!

However, faced with this deadly blow...

Kiana simply raised her hand and grabbed the meteor hammer.

"You lost."

"I don't!"

Rem didn't attack her again, but instead gripped the handle of her flail: "No matter what, I'll protect myself. There's no way you can kill me!"

"That's not necessarily true."

Kiana smiled confidently: "You really think you can beat me?"

"You say that with such confidence."

Rem gave a mocking smile: "In that case, give it a try."

Seeing the mocking smile on Kiana's face, Rem's face flashed with anger.

She hates it most when people laugh at her for being arrogant!

"Then let's give it a try."

With a single step, Rem leaped forward, her flail whirring as she swung it.

The meteor hammer sped faster and faster, eventually becoming a straight line as it smashed towards Kiana's heart!

"Heh, you're really too arrogant!"

Seeing that Rem dared to attack first, Kiana could only smile helplessly.

This time, she made no attempt to dodge, letting it crash heavily into her heart.

boom! ! !

With a deafening roar, the meteor hammer unleashed its immense power, striking Kiana squarely in the heart!

Seeing this, Rem finally smiled. However, when she saw that Kiana was unharmed, her smile froze instantly, and her expression became very complicated. She really couldn't understand how Kiana could be uninjured!

"Ready? It's my turn now."

Kiana walked towards Rem and said calmly.

Rem gritted her teeth, her heart filled with rage.

Even she couldn't refute Kiana's words just now. After all, she knew the gap between her strength and Kiana's. If she didn't take the initiative to admit defeat, then the next outcome would definitely be tragic.

"I lost."

As Kiana approached, she slowly closed her eyes, giving up resistance and waiting to face what was to come.

"I told you, you would lose."

Seeing Rem give up resisting, Kiana said casually, and then, with a slight tap of her right hand, she tapped Rem on the head.

"I...I lost..."

With the application of physical sleep-inducing methods, Rem collapsed to the ground unconscious.

Kiana picked her up, placed her and her sister Ram aside, and said to the struggling girl, "If you want to be safe, don't move."

"..."

Under the threat of death, a hint of desolation flashed in Ram's eyes, then she sighed and fell silent.

After subduing the two maid sisters, Kiana felt confident that she had the battle in the bag.

And then...

"Mezas, what exactly are you...?"

Just as he finished speaking, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Before long, the strange duke, dressed like a clown, arrived at the door.

"Strange, why is this door broken?"

Just as Kiana and Reinhard were desperately trying to find the culprit, the Duke, a familiar voice suddenly reached Kiana's ears.

Kiana's face instantly lit up with ecstatic joy: "I knew it! My luck has always been the best!"

The two then appeared before Mezas in a completely unreserved manner...

"you......"

Mezas was hesitating whether he should go and find another door to hide behind when suddenly his expression changed, and he looked at Kiana with shock in his eyes.

"You actually managed to subdue Ram?"

Seeing the shocked expression on Mezas's face, Kiana felt a surge of pride.

"She's seriously injured right now, but what are you... holding in your hand?"

"Oh, it's medicine."

"You still have any conscience at all?"

Kiana took the medicine from Mezas's hands and then hurriedly went to treat the two sisters' injuries.

However, as she turned around, she didn't forget to give Reinhard a wink, signaling him to keep a close eye on the duke.

Unfortunately, strangely enough, the other party did not seem to have any intention of making a move or running away. Under Reinhard's watchful gaze, they simply returned to their seat and sat up straight.

His carefree and unrestrained demeanor makes one wonder...

Is he trying to shirk all responsibility?

In any case, Kiana finally healed the two sisters' injuries, and then stood in front of Mezas with the King's Sword in her hand, her tone revealing a domineering air: "Now, tell us everything."

Reinhard, standing to the side, couldn't help but look at Mezas and ask, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"I didn't intend to do anything."

Mezas shook his head and said, then looked at Reinhard with a hint of mockery on his face: "Knight? Why are you helping her? Have you forgotten who I am? Let me tell you, if you have any conscience left, subdue this woman immediately!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Reinhard glared at her.

What a joke! If I could have beaten them, I would have settled things outside!

The main problem is that we can't beat them!

"Alright, in that case, I won't say anything more. But you'd better cherish everything you have, because it will all be destroyed soon!"

Mezas said with an ambiguous expression, his tone full of teasing.

"Hmph! You guys chat, I'm going out first."

Reinhard gave a soft hum, then turned and walked towards the door.

As he watched Reinhard's figure gradually disappear into the distance, the smile on Mezas's face faded, replaced by a deep sense of arrogance:

"So...you already know everything?"

"I know, but I don't know everything."

Kiana silently raised her sword and held it to the duke's neck, her expression icy as she questioned, "Why did you hire someone to kill me and Emilia? I won't ask any more questions, after all, she's an unstable factor for you. But Emilia is a candidate you supported, what's the point of doing this?"

Although the sword was already at his neck, Mezas was not so afraid as to beg for mercy.

It seems that the threat of death was nothing to him.

While such behavior may not be considered particularly noble or extraordinary, it certainly qualifies as courageous and fearless.

That's why Kiana thought much more highly of him.

"You seem to have some grand ambitions?"

Kiana stared at Duke Mezas and slowly asked, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be so indifferent to death. Hmm...you remind me of someone."

"Oh? What kind of person is he?"

Mezas countered with interest.

Kiana recalled for a moment, then said, "He wasn't a particularly likable guy. He... did a lot of things to revive someone, paid a heavy price, and hurt a lot of people."
