The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

At this moment, the two people were looking at this uninvited guest with curious eyes.

Upon seeing the two people, Artoria felt a little embarrassed, but her expression remained very calm.

"Hello, I'm Kiana's friend, my name is Artoria."

"So you really are Kiana's friends? Hello, I'm Paimon, and this is Ying. We're here to visit Kiana while we're traveling."

Paimon smiled with his hands behind his back, then scratched the back of his head and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where she is right now?"

Chapter Four Wow, so it's the King of Britain... Uh, what is Britain anyway?

"I am here."

Before Artoria could answer, Kiana appeared behind them.

She patted Ying on the shoulder as a gesture of friendliness, and then waved to Paimon, which was her way of saying hello.

Upon seeing her arrive, the couple's faces immediately lit up with joy.

"Kiana, I'm so glad to see you again."

The two smiled and came closer, patting Kiana on the shoulder and touching her hair.

It was as if they were trying to determine whether the Kiana in front of them was the real one.

Kiana, feeling a little ticklish from their teasing, reluctantly wrapped her arms around their necks.

"Alright, alright, let's stop with the small talk. Come to think of it, it seems like it's been quite a while since we last met."

"Yes, it has been a long time."

Ying nodded, and then began to recount her adventures over the past few days.

It was only at this moment that Kiana realized you had already set off for Sumeru, and judging from the situation, the journey seemed to be going smoothly.

"I hope you can find clues about your brother."

"Yes, thank you, I hope so."

Despite receiving blessings from her friends, Ying did not show much joy.

Perhaps she didn't have much hope for this trip either.

Come to think of it, if they were hoping for a sure thing, why would they come here halfway through to play around with themselves?

With that in mind, Kiana placed her hands on Luminous's shoulders to encourage her:

"Don't worry, Ying. I believe you can find your brother. You are so brave, fearless, and clever. I believe you will soon be reunited with your long-lost loved ones."

She patted Ying's back forcefully, trying to make her forget her sorrow, regain her courage, and cheer her up again. However, this method was completely ineffective, as it only treated the symptoms and not the root cause.

"Thank you, Kiana, but you should also know that we can't force these things."

Kiana's encouragement only made Ying more depressed. She lowered her eyes and replied in a low voice.

"Um."

Seeing this, Kiana could only nod helplessly.

Seeing Kiana like this, Ying couldn't help but sigh.

It wasn't that she didn't want to cheer up, but that she had lost that fighting spirit. Even if she tried, it would be in vain. No wonder, in her eyes, all of this seemed too insignificant and had no effect whatsoever.

"You should rest for a while."

Kiana gently stroked Ying's head.

"Yes, you too."

"Well then, I'll be going now."

"Um."

Kiana, are you going to rest too?

Just as Kiana was about to turn and leave, Paimon suddenly stopped her.

"Yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"I have a question. Don't you think we should introduce ourselves before we rest? This is...."

As Paimon explained, he pointed to Artoria in the distance.

Kiana glanced at her and realized that she had actually forgotten about this king, so she could only smile apologetically.

I began to introduce this friend, whom I had made in a different time and space, to you two.

"Yes. Let me introduce you. This is Artoria, the future Queen of Britain."

"Ahem! I haven't..."

Hearing Kiana introduce herself like that, Artoria became a little anxious.

After all, she had been taught from childhood to keep her identity a secret, and even though she had now drawn the Blood Demon Sword, it was not yet time to officially implement the plan.

Isn't it a bit too audacious to reveal one's true identity to others so easily?

If Merlin were here, he would probably say a word or two, wouldn't he?

However...

"Oh my, this is the future king of Britain, how amazing!"

Paimon clapped his hands and looked at Artoria with longing.

However, apart from curiosity, there was not a trace of fear or awe on her little face.

It's as if they have absolutely no idea who this so-called King of Britain is.

Ying was also unaware of this.

"Is the King of Britain... a figure like Thor and the Queen of Winter?"

Ying stroked her chin, looking thoughtful, and said.

She wasn't surprised by the fact that she was a visitor from another world, after all, she was a traveler who had traveled through many worlds.

Kiana is the same, so there's nothing noteworthy about that identity.

But she was completely baffled by this so-called King of Chaos.

After all, Ying had been to all sorts of places, but she had never actually been to this so-called Britain.

Because I've never been there or learned about it, I have no idea what kind of place it is.

Needless to say, she was terrified of Artoria's identity.

"Nice to meet you."

Ying nodded slightly, and then introduced herself.

That's how I got to know Artoria.

Their attitudes were far too casual, which made Artoria, who was initially worried, feel a surge of anger.

Because she felt as if she was being looked down upon.

What kind of situation is this? I finally managed to expose my identity, but the other party still acts like they don't care at all.

"One day, my name will resound throughout Britain."

"Oh..."

The two, completely unaware of the important figure standing before them, nodded.

It fully embodies the spirit of fearlessness in the face of ignorance.

Seeing this, Kiana, as the master of this place, pondered for a moment, then smiled at Artoria.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's get some rest. We'll be very busy starting tomorrow."

As Kiana spoke, she pointed to the largest building on the floating island.

Looking at the magnificent, palatial building, Artoria's eyes were slightly bewildered.

She slowly stepped forward, and after arriving at the door, she hesitated for a moment before looking up.

He then countered Kiana's question by asking, "Why is there no guard in your castle?"

"Oh, a castle? Well, this isn't a castle, it's just a rather large house."

Kiana told the truth.

After all, this house could not serve any defensive purpose other than being used for living. There were no patrols at the crenellations, no city walls, and the structure was a mixture of wood and stone.

Calling it a castle is a gross exaggeration.

"Isn't it a castle...? Hmm, I see."

After her initial surprise, Artoria quickly adjusted.

Although she felt that such a magnificent and grand house, like a palace, was a castle.

But since the homeowner has said so, we can only go along with her wishes.

Even now, Artoria still finds everything happening before her to be questionable and unacceptable.

After all, the fairy's illusion magic and Merlin's skills are not much worse than this.

If there's anything strange about it, it's probably that the two people beside him didn't know where Britain was.

Could it be that the two of them are really travelers from another world?

If so, then what kind of person is Kiana?

With these questions in mind, Artoria, guided by Qi Yang, entered a guest room to rest.

Kiana's residence has a guest room layout that is distinctly Liyue style.

In Artoria's view, such a layout was both unbelievable and full of novelty.

"What kind of people are they exactly?"

Artoria touched the pillow and blanket, which felt noticeably better to the touch, and suddenly felt an urge to stay there forever.

After all, if you compare it to what you've been living in all these years, it's simply...

"No, no, I can't indulge in pleasure. The throne is waiting for me to inherit. How can I indulge in personal comfort before that happens?"
