Elden Ring, my witch is a talkative beautiful girl

He read books during the day and consulted his knowledgeable father at night. At a young age, he had a deep understanding of the Golden Rule and mastered many laws and prayers when he was just over ten years old.

"Lani, do you think Latarn can tame that fierce horse today?" Lakkad looked up at his father's back, then at his brother and the foal who were still struggling. "I bet he can't do it before sunset. If it were me, I would definitely use a more efficient method."

Young people always like to compete and compare with each other. When dealing with his brother who is taciturn and prefers actions rather than words, Lacard often puts himself in his role, trying to prove that he can do better than him.

"It will work." The petite Lani blinked, full of confidence in her brother. "Brother Latan never gives up. He will definitely become friends with the horse before sunset."

"Friend?" Lakkad rubbed his brow, shook his head and laughed, "A horse can be a mount, but it can't be a friend."

"You're so stubborn! I think you've become stupid from studying too much." Lani rolled her eyes cutely, showing her talent for sharp tongue at such a young age.

"Little girl, how do you talk to your brother?"

Lacade pretended to hit her sister on the head, and Lani hid behind her mother, lowered her eyelids and made a face at him.

"I knew you were taking advantage of my mother's favor to do whatever you want." Lacard gave up in dissatisfaction.

"It's better than some people who just take advantage of their age to bully children." Lani said without giving in. "If you don't agree, let's have a competition to see who has better judgment. Don't get upset when you lose the bet."

"Who would be upset?" Lakkad closed the book and frowned. "Let's compete. I don't believe Latarn can tame that horse before sunset."

As time passed, the sun sank into the horizon little by little, and the expression on Lacard's face brightened little by little. Then, at a certain moment, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze.

As Lani expected, Latarn and the pony recognized each other's existence in the constant confrontation and struggle, and the man and the horse cooperated seamlessly as they galloped into the sunset.

"See?" Lani put her hands on her hips, a smug look on her face. "I always say that actions speak louder than words when it comes to what Brother Latarn can do. You, a bookworm, just can't compare to him."

"It's just... a coincidence." Lakkad bit his lip. "I won't be so lucky next time."

After all, he is young at heart. No matter how mature he is, it is inevitable that he will feel a little unwilling to accept losing to a sister who is much younger than him.

It was a long time before Lacard realized that when it came to judging people and things, Lani had a unique eye, and that betting with her meant more losses than wins.

"You're just being stubborn. No wonder you can never compare to Brother Latan." Lani waved her little hand, and a small piece of ice condensed from the air, which flew into Lakkad's collar, freezing him so much that his face turned pale and he shuddered violently.

Finally unable to hold back any longer, Lacard dropped his book and started chasing after his sister.

After playing a prank, Lani certainly wouldn't just stand there stupidly. She lifted up her skirt with her little hands and ran faster than a rabbit, shouting, "Brother Latan, I want to ride a horse too. Take me with you!"

Latan skillfully stopped the horse in front of his sister, and without saying a word, he grabbed her and hugged her to his chest.

The horse, with all its strength, kicked its four legs and left the furious Lakkad far behind.

Lenara walked out of the pavilion and put clothes on her husband Ladagon. Ladagon gently held his wife's hand. The couple stood side by side in the orange sunset, quietly watching the children playing and chasing each other, with knowing smiles on their faces.

The eldest son, Latan, embarked on the path of a warrior; the second son, Lakkad, learned the Golden Rule; and the youngest daughter, Lani, began to show her innate magical talent.

All three children inherited their parents' fine bloodlines and have their own ideal futures.

On that quiet afternoon, Lenara and Radagon, the family of "full moon" and "gold", was so happy and perfect, but everything took a sharp turn for the worse due to an incident not long after.

The memories behind the first door ended there. The replica teardrop asked softly, "The scene behind this door is the happiest scene in your memory. How do you feel about seeing your old family again?"

Lani said nothing. She closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened the second door that was just a few steps away.

Inside the Magic Academy, soft moonlight shines in front of the locked gate of the Great Library. The Kalia Knight Mugram waits here diligently, guarding the "Full Moon Queen" who is no longer a hero.

Upon hearing the horrifying rumors, Lani hurriedly ended her travels and rushed back to Rhea Lukalia. "How is this possible? I don't believe it! Father wouldn't do such a thing! How could he abandon Mother and leave without saying goodbye?"

Mugram shook his head silently. He didn't want to believe it, but that was the fact before him.

Radagon abandoned his wife and three children, and, at the behest of Queen Marika, returned alone to the royal city of Rodel. He would soon replace Gefre, who had been expelled from the borderlands, and become the second King of Elden in the Golden Age.

Which means… Radhagaon will marry Mallika!

Volume 2: The Flowing Stars: Chapter 89: Dark Moon (Part 2)

The alliance between "Gold" and "Full Moon" was broken, but the magic academy, which had lost the leadership of the "Full Moon Queen", had no energy left to declare war on the Golden Clan again. It could only continue to maintain a superficial relationship and turn a blind eye to this great humiliation.

"No!" Lani stamped her foot and stormed out. "I'm going to find him... and ask my father what's going on. There's definitely something else going on."

She no longer cared about anything else, nor could she calm down and think about how she could break through the heavy defenses outside the royal city and see Radagon in the palace by herself.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere!" A majestic voice came from the top of the stairs, and a young man with a sharp face blocked Lani's way.

At this time, Lacard was not yet twenty years old. There was a sense of majesty in his eyes and eyebrows, and one could vaguely see the shadow of a future Supreme Court Justice in him.

"Brother Lacade...?" Having not seen him for two years, Lani almost didn't recognize him. She hesitated for a second, then took another step forward. "Even you can't stop me. I must go to Rodel today to seek justice for my mother!"

"Little sister, you are fooling around!"

The golden ring exploded, and the "reject" prayer stopped Lani from forcing her way in. She staggered and steadied her steps, her hat fluttering off, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

Lakkad sighed deeply and said earnestly, "Do you think you're the only one who's sad that Mother has become so devastated? Aren't my brother and I heartbroken too? Even if you go, you won't be able to see Father!"

Everything happened so fast that he didn't have time to notify Lani, who was traveling with the Snow Witch, to come home, nor did he have time to contact Latan, who went to Galid to study gravity magic, to rush back to Lienia. Their family had already been shattered.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Lani bit her lower lip, her entangled fingers revealing her inner anxiety. "Should I do nothing? Should I just watch that despicable woman take my father away?"

The sudden change in the group chat made the girl lose her composure and composure.

"A momentary impulse will only lead everything to a catastrophic abyss, becoming utterly irreversible." Lakkad's tone slowed, his expression softening. "You and I both know the power of Queen Marica. She is the most powerful deity of this era in the Borderland. To openly defy her will is tantamount to suicide."

The young demigod gazed at the golden tree, so distant yet so close. "We are father's descendants, carrying half the blood of the Golden Clan. This is a fact that no one can change. When father ascends the throne, we will also have the right to inherit the future throne."

"What's the use of inheritance rights? Who wants that thing? I just want father to come back to us and mother." After not seeing her second brother for two years, Lani found that she could not guess what he was thinking.

"We need strength to fight against the Golden Clan and Queen Marika's power. Without strength, we can do nothing."

Lakad leaned over to pick up the fallen pointed wizard's hat, dusted it off, and put it on his sister. "I've sent a message to my eldest brother, asking him to study peacefully in Ceria Town and wait for the moment when the situation turns around. Next, I will go to Rodel myself to study the Golden Rule, understand the nature of the enemy we will face in the future, and inquire about our father."

Lani asked, "Then...what about me? What should I do?"

"Little sister, you've inherited mother's talent and are adept at using magic. You know what to do," Lakkad said earnestly. "Besides, someone should always be at home with mother. She's secluded in the Great Library, and some people who usually don't speak up are showing signs of stirring. So, I'll leave the affairs of the fortress to you."

A decree, a night talk, when the golden light overwhelmed the moonlight and illuminated every inch of land at the border, the fate of all gods and men began to tragically intertwine.

Shortly after Radagon ascended the throne, Queen Malika gave birth to a new pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Both were canonized and enjoyed the same treatment and status as the previous king's son, "Golden" Godwin.

In order to show the magnanimity of the new king, Marika put aside past grudges and gave Latan, Lacard and Lani the same status. The formal enthronement ceremony was postponed until Michaela and Malenia turned 18.

The "two fingers" who had caught a glimpse of the future came out one after another, laid down their chips for the second gamble many years later, and selected their own spokespersons.

A few years after Lani returned to Kalia Castle, the Pyroxene Mages, just as Lakkad had predicted, instigated the Cuckoo Knights to launch a rebellion.

On the city wall, the girl's aqua blue skirt rippled like waves. She closed her eyes lightly, and when she opened them again, she revealed a ruthless and resolute look.

In an instant, the starlight falling from the sky flooded the battlefield like a torrential rain. Amidst the wailing sounds that rose one after another, the stupid cuckoo's blood flowed like a river.

The second door's memory is frozen on the blood-soaked earth.

Lani outside the door raised her hand slightly, as if she wanted to wipe away the invisible tears that were sliding down the corners of her past self's eyes inside the door, but she finally put her raised hand down.

Only those who are prepared to be killed have the qualifications to take the lives of others. On the day when the blood dyed the earth red, she began to transform from the innocent and naive girl to the scheming Dark Moon Princess.

"I can feel your heart beating." The teardrop seemed to understand, eager to experience more intense emotions. "From the happiest moment to the abyss of the most painful, you knew which choice you made was the right one, but you still hoped for a miracle. Humans... are truly complex and contradictory creatures."

Lani stopped in front of the last door, a complex expression on her face. "Even if it's a false dream that will eventually end, it still takes unimaginable courage to end it with your own hands."

She thought she could face the past calmly, but in the end it was difficult to do so.

Sometimes losing everything makes things easier, but the girl's tender shoulders have become accustomed to carrying heavy burdens. She is no longer the innocent and naive little princess in the family. There is no going back...

The third door opened, and the familiar layout of the Three Sisters Magician Tower came into view.

The projections of Blaze and Iggy stood on both sides. Lani, sitting in the main seat, lowered her eyes in thought, with two letters placed beside her.

One was stamped with the golden tree emblem, the other with the serpentine seal exclusive to the newly appointed Chief Justice.

Michaela and Marennia were old enough to be officially crowned. The two siblings, Lani and her husband, also received an invitation from the royal city of Rodel. They entered the city together and received titles and territories.

The letter sent by Lacard also mentioned this matter. After becoming the Grand Chancellor, he had arranged for the reception of the two siblings, and in the letter he advised Lani to be cautious in her words and actions during the ceremony.

After reading the letter, Lani shared its contents with the two ministers, sighing, "Time flies! Eighteen years have already passed since that man left, and my mother's condition shows no signs of improvement."

The girl's beautiful face was the same as it had been a few years ago, like a blue rose blooming in the blooming season, with her delicate eyebrows raised upwards.

The appearance and abilities of gods will be frozen at the peak moment of their lives, and Queen Malika will therefore remain eternally young and never age.

Although the offspring of gods are only demigods, they have a lifespan far exceeding that of mortals because of the bloodline between them. Age has no meaning to them and most of the time it is just a string of simple numbers.
