Princess' personal painter

Sisyana knew very well that if she hadn't been fortunate enough to be taught by the magic mentor "Star Prophet", her fate would basically follow the trajectory of the women in the family. After reaching a certain age, she would go to a foreign land to perform the "marriage" political mission.

In today's era, although the vast majority of people with noble blood have certain magical qualifications, because there is no teaching system, it is very difficult for even members of the royal family to learn magic, even if it costs a lot of money. Ask a magician to teach from an early age. Since the qualifications of the students cannot be judged at the beginning, the huge expenses and future returns in the normal learning process may not necessarily form a direct ratio.

At the same time, the Holy See, which has occupied a dominant position for a long time, will never sit back and watch the independent forces of any magicians develop and grow.Those magicians who build mage towers and try to establish their own territories will be regarded as demons and punished. Magicians can only have room to survive if they choose to attach themselves to the country and guilds.

Therefore, for the vast majority of countries, it is a more cost-effective choice to directly spend money to win over those who have become magicians because of various "opportunities" to serve themselves instead of cultivating magicians at high risk.

Under this premise, "Star Prophet" can see her aptitude at a glance, and tailor-made a "Magic Labyrinth" for her that can help her grow quickly, preventing her from getting bored with the boring training process; at the same time , and set up a large number of historical images, literary classics, and artistic creations in the maze for her to watch in her spare time, helping her to understand and comprehend the laws of the world's operation... These exquisite teaching methods directly created "Eli "Pearl of Silk" was born.

It can even be said that it was the "Star Prophet" - the magic teacher whose real name was not disclosed until the end, who shaped her strength, interests, hobbies... and even her entire life.

...It's strange, obviously a very important person...

In addition to the panic, another emotion called "sadness" came to my heart unconsciously.At the beginning, before her 16th birthday, she finally cracked all thirteen magic imprints and advanced to the holy rank. However, after that, her memory about her teacher quickly became blurred. She only remembered the "incandescent star" It was given to me by the teacher. Except for the first time, the memories of getting along with each other seem to be covered with a thick layer of fog.

If it weren't for the memory of the screening just now, she couldn't even remember the teacher's appearance.

... Strange, why do you feel like crying?

In a trance, Sisyana remembered the first time she met Irene.

In the slightly dark studio on the border of Movia, the girl hid half of her body behind the drawing board, her pretty face blushing cutely, and she looked at this side with curious and timid eyes... At that moment, she could clearly sense that she was pregnant. The "incandescent starlight" in the middle of the room was about to move, so she couldn't get distracted and used magic to suppress the movement of the spar.

That's right... At that time, "Fina", whose soul lived in the spar, had already recognized Irene.Are you delighted to learn of your sister's "resurrection"?Was the strange throbbing I was having then because Fina was working on me?

Irene and Fina are a pair of sisters who had a difficult life in the old empire era. If all goes well, they will be able to "reunite" soon, right?And what is the relationship between her own magic mentor, the "Stellar Prophet" who has been missing since saying goodbye at the age of 12, and Fina?

The star predictor, the incandescent starburst, Fina, Irene... the magic labyrinth, art, Irene's paintings... If you connect all these things, what conclusion can you draw?Speaking of which, I have always admired "Fina St. Olysses" so much and regarded her as an idol, and it seems that I was also influenced by my teacher...

There are many other things that I didn't understand at all before... things about Luna, things about Qi Ye... sometimes they like their attitude towards Erin, do they like it?Are there other emotions mixed in... Yes, "Enoli's daughter" is Jacqueline, right?Did you teach me magic just to let me protect her?Well, I seem to have let down the teacher's ideas... Also, what did the teacher mean when he said he felt guilty for my concubine mother...

Irene who went to the dark world, why must she challenge the "devil god"?

"Only do the last thing that must be done"... what does that mean?

With all the clues, Sisyana suddenly found that her understanding and cognition of Irene...had become a little strange?

Erin, since you appeared, you have unknowingly saved many people. What is the most important thing to you?Well, you seem to have said that in Silesia, the name that was called affectionately in the dream more than once...is not me...

That name was... "Fina".

My thoughts suddenly returned to the beginning.

Now, we are only one step away from uncovering a frightening answer.

For Erin, the most important person... is Fina...

It's Fina...

After all, they are connected by blood, the most important sister...

Even if you are lying in my arms, you will still call her name...

what about me?

In addition to Fina, there are also Luna and Qiye who suddenly established some kind of mysterious connection... There are also Yaniweier and Erica that you have been thinking about all the time, and Yingying who can bet the fate of your family Heart, and...many, many others you may meet in the future...

If the time span is extended to 300 years, or a longer time span in the future... will there still be a place for me on the stage?

If it is said that... only because of a blundering fate, I was fortunate enough to be chosen to shape me into what I am now, the me who should be humble and inconspicuous, one day, when we learn all the truth about "fate" After that...do you still have the qualifications to act as your supporting role?

At this point in my thoughts, tears flowed down my cheeks.

In this spiritual ocean, there seemed to be crying.Sisyana raised her head in a daze, and saw those black crystals with memories hidden in the wind shattered at the same time, bursting into dazzling seven-color brilliance, and the complicated memories contained in them poured into the girl's body like a sea tide. consciousness.

……

On the sailing pirate ship, a young man was staring at the portrait in his hand, dazed.

"Bastard, are you looking stupid again?" The big man next to him glanced at the young man, and couldn't help but said, "It's just a painting, and you don't want to change it. It's like a treasure all day long. I really admire you!"

"The woman in the painting is said to be the last princess of the Holy Empire. She has been dead for more than 100 years."

"I think this kid probably wants a woman, right? After he succeeds this time, find a brothel and let him have sex, maybe he will return to normal."

Turning a deaf ear to the words around him, the boy stared blankly at the old-time princess named "Fina St. Olysses" in the painting, as if his soul had been sucked into it.

Why... I feel nostalgic just looking at this painting?

Born on a desolate island, even though he was simple in nature, he had to join the ranks of pirates that his ancestors depended on for a living, and followed them to rob merchant ships, kill crew members, rob slaves, and plunder trophies... Only this one thing , Just one more look at the girl's resolute face in the painting, and he completely fell into a state of despair.

He suddenly realized that he, who had committed crimes and was stained with the blood of innocent people, could never be worthy of the legendary princess in the painting.

"Oops, it's Aragon's navy, we've fallen into a trap!"

"Damn... there is no escape."

In a trance, the young man heard the panicked shouts of his companions, raised his head in a daze, and found five or six warships encircling from the front and back, forming horns and blocking the escape route of the pirate ship. Death penalty for all.

The boy carefully put the painting into his arms, stood up unsteadily, and drew out his scimitar to prepare for the challenge.

At this moment, the shining scorching sun seemed so dazzling.

"Probably, it doesn't matter anymore." The boy said with a self-deprecating sentence.

……

In another memory, under the lavender phosphorescent sky, a noble girl in a long dress sang an unknown song and rushed towards the enemy with a desperate attitude.

The war song mourns, burns this life, and turns into a phoenix.

In the end, with a relieved look, he died with the enemy.

……

In the burning palace, the girl stepped over the bodies of the guards with light steps, turned around and looked down at the rebel, showing the dagger hidden in her arms.

It's not aimed at the enemy, but at... oneself.

On the icy floor, the noble and clean Begonia flowers bloom brilliantly, declaring the will to endure hardships and indomitability.

……

All these different forms of life ended in tragedy.

The memories hidden in those black crystals are like a stage play that has been abruptly truncated. Every time there is only a thick and colorful "final act", it is enough to vividly interpret the tragedy of a lifetime, and the emotions released are truly breathless. Come.

In a very short period of time, Sisyana seemed to have experienced countless times of death.

Pain, unwillingness, despair, grief...

Why do these stories make people feel so sad?

Is this... all Erin, what have you experienced?

In an instant, Sisyana's consciousness was quickly eroded by these overly strong emotions, and she even began to fall into a state of being lost. She couldn't tell whether she was the girl named "Sisyana" or the one in her memory. Protagonists who experience pain once.

Hope... where the hell?

I don't know when, my whole body and mind seem to have fallen into a bone-chilling ice cellar.

cold, so cold...

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Sad cries lingered in her ears, and Sisyana's consciousness finally woke up—or she fell into a deeper dream.She tried her best to expand her consciousness, and found a girl with ice-white hair was lying on top of "herself", crying and mourning.

here is?

As soon as the idea came up, the spirit of a girl named "Jina" seemed to merge with her. The two unfortunately encountered an avalanche, and the memory buried under the thick ice and snow became clear.

Lily, Lily...

As if she was this girl named "Jina", she wanted to call her companion's name, but her lips were so stiff that she couldn't utter a word.She suddenly realized that her body had long since lost any warmth, imprisoning her consciousness here.

"Why, why on earth did you give up..."

The girl named Pofei Lili cried hoarsely: "I have clearly said that the magic power is enough for us to persist together for three days. As long as we persist, rescue will definitely arrive... I just accidentally fell asleep, and you left without permission." It fell...Damn it, I should have watched you, woo, woo woo..."

So, is the "I" named "Gina" dead?

She thought blankly.

"This kind of thing is really strange... What is the reason why you have to leave me alone, and I am so annoying to you?"

I'm sorry, but... there are more important things...

Because, "I" is the last fragment... "She" is already calling me...

Puffy Lily, my best friend, please live strong.One day, "we" will meet again.

"Woooooo, it's so cold here... even I'm starting to feel cold..."

Gradually, Pofei Lili, who seemed to be tired from crying, said to herself with a tired voice: "If I am alone, I always feel that there is no fun at all... Really, when I was a child, I always fantasized about One day I will be able to leave the snow field and go to the warm world in the south. I never thought that even such a simple thing would become a luxury... It's all because you don't listen to me at all... Maybe it's because I think I will be grateful and remember your dedication Right? Huh, I won't let you get what you want..."

"Sometimes I would have some strange dreams. In the dream, there was a person, a person who couldn't see clearly, who was always guarding my side... Sometimes I felt that that person seemed to be 'Gina'... You know, just now When I first encountered the avalanche, I thought that there would finally be such a thrilling event in our boring daily life, and I still fantasized about the moment when you, an idiot, 'opened up'..."

Saying that, Pofei Lili hugged her companion's cold body, then removed the protection of the magic barrier, squinted at the falling ice blocks, and sighed softly: "In the end, life is really boring..."

No, don't... Lily, please...

Why?Why do you have to sacrifice your own life?

The deep cold not only buried their bodies, but also drowned her consciousness.

……

At the end of the world, ice and snow are flying.

After going through the seemingly endless "nightmare" and finally regaining her "self", Sisyana panted heavily, her eyes were full of bewilderment.

The magnificent aurora in the sky reflects the countless human-shaped ice sculptures standing in front of them, while the bodies of "Pofelili" and "Gina" are lying on the open space in front of them, with demure faces as if they have fallen into a long sleep. It seemed as if he could wake up in the next moment.

"It's really nerve-wracking to actually break into the pre-set stage without authorization."

He raised his head suddenly, and saw a woman with breathtaking beauty in a long snow-white dress, with waterfall-like snow-white hair hanging down her waist.

Sisyana was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the other party was talking to "herself", and the breath here was clearly different from the "memory" just now.She opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but for a moment she felt that she had a lot of thoughts and didn't know where to start.

"Originally, the effect of 'Blessing of Lian Li' should not be like this, but the colleague in charge of 'Feng Rao' also lifted the seal by chance, although the spiritual consciousness has long been damaged... But this blessing from Feng Rao, probably It has become unique in this world, the proof that the goddess still has devout relatives, and a brand-new law derived to more enthusiastically respond to the wishes of believers. The so-called 'love' can actually touch the thread of fate..."

"...Is this due to a fate that even I can't guess?"

This well-dressed woman who clearly has the appearance of a god, with one red and one blue eyes quietly looked at Sisyana, but she asked the same question as Lamier not long ago—

"So... how far can you go for 'love'?"
