Seeing Elina holding on to the Ice Rose tightly, Margaret became anxious.
[Ice Rose] is the most powerful artifact of the human race and has a very terrifying self-protection mechanism.
If you touch it without being its owner, you will suffer a very severe backlash.
What's more, what Elina did was not touching, but snatching.
If it goes on for a long time, she doesn't know what serious consequences will occur.
"How can I let go?!"
In response to Margaret's request, Elena gritted her teeth and roared, showing no sign of giving up.
"drink!!"
Finding that she didn't have enough power at the moment, Elina even summoned the will of the continent.
As the will of the continent was awakened, under the illumination of the silver light, the ice was melting rapidly, as if it was afraid of something.
Although the ice will continue to form after melting, at least a delicate balance has been reached.
At this moment, the Ice Rose was actually pulled slightly outwards.
"There's hope! All right, let's do it in one go!"
Seeing that this method was effective, Elena's eyes showed a kind of ecstasy, and she couldn't help but work harder.
“Ai... Alina... Stop it..."
But just as she was slowly dragging out the Ice Rose, she discovered that Margaret's breath was constantly decreasing.
Seeing this, Elena immediately let go of her hand.
The moment Elena let go, the Ice Rose immediately disappeared, as if it was avoiding something.
Looking at Margaret lying on the bed, gasping for breath, Elena stood there in a daze.
She didn't expect that after so many years, the Ice Rose had been absorbing Margaret's vitality, and the two of them had long become one.
If he forcibly took the Ice Rose out of Margaret's body at this moment, it would definitely accelerate Margaret's death.
In this situation, Elena didn't know what to do.
She stared blankly at her hands that had turned purple from the cold, and felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
Even if you have invincible strength, there is no way to reverse life and death.
"Alina, stop making these meaningless efforts. Come out with me and see the world."
Margaret reached out her hands and gently covered Elina's cold hands, and said softly:
"I have spent most of my life in Tara, the academy, and the border. To be honest, I have never really seen this world in all these years. In this last moment, I hope you can accompany me and go out for a walk, okay?"
There was a gleam in Margaret's eyes, a desire for a wider world.
"Well, I promise you, no matter where you go, I will be by your side."
Faced with Margaret's final request, Elena could not and could not refuse.
The world owes this girl too much. If possible, let her compensate Margaret more on behalf of the world.
"Great, I can finally let go of everything."
Margaret smiled as she spoke, but tears flowed from her eyes.
For so many years, Margaret has been the Duke of the Empire, the head of the Windsor family, the Lord of the Ice Rose, and one of the guardians of the entire border.
But it was never that ordinary girl—Margaret Windsor.
From today on, this girl can finally get rid of all her burdens and be herself.
Now she is no longer the high and mighty Duke, nor is she the powerful Lord of Ice Rose. She is just a girl, an ordinary girl longing for the outside world.
"Dean, if we let Lady Margaret go out, I'm worried..."
The doctor who had been waiting outside changed his expression slightly after hearing what Margaret and Elena said, and bowed to Dean Myron.
"Whatever. From today on, your mission is over. I want to thank you for your dedication over the years on behalf of Margaret."
After listening to the doctor's words, Dean Myron sighed and bowed to thank all the medical staff, but he did not intend to stop Margaret.
"Dean, is there really no other way?"
The doctor asked with gritted teeth. He knew what the dean meant by that. To be honest, none of them wanted Margaret to leave like this.
"No, the human race has trapped this girl for too many years under the pretext of righteousness. In this final moment, let her be herself for once and become the real person she wants to be."
Dean Myron shook his head sadly, said something, and then turned and left.
Margaret, you are the best and most powerful artifact owner in the history of the human race!
Dean Mellen was certain in his heart that in the thousands of years of human history, there had been countless owners of divine weapons, many of whom were so powerful that the entire continent admired them.
But among so many powerful people, only Margaret, with her ordinary body, shouldered this supreme responsibility.
The meaning of life never lies in its length, but in its width.
Margaret has obviously created a legend worthy of being recorded in history.
Looking at the dean's back, all the medical staff fell silent, and a sad atmosphere spread among them.
After so many years, today is finally the time to say goodbye. Thinking of this, everyone has mixed feelings.
"Everyone, Margaret wants to see you."
Just when the leading doctor was about to ask everyone to pack up, he was called into the laboratory by Elena.
In the laboratory, Margaret expressed her heartfelt gratitude to all the medical staff and thanked them for their help over the years.
That brilliant smile and that extremely graceful posture made it impossible to associate the girl in front of me with someone who was at the end of her life.
"Lady Margaret..."
Everyone looked at Margaret quietly with tears in their eyes.
"Let's go."
At this time, Elena walked gently to Margaret's side and whispered.
"Ah."
Margaret nodded, and then with the help of Elena, she slowly walked out of the cave.
When the bright sunshine shone on the girl again, her eyes curved into two crescents.
From this moment on, Margaret could finally begin to truly enjoy her life.
That's less than a month of life.
Chapter 110 So-called Faith
"Good morning, Uncle Andrew."
"Hey, good morning, little Anna."
"Good morning, Miss Anglia."
"Good morning. Why, little Anna is going to church again?"
"Yes, today is Sunday, the day of weekly prayer, of course I have to go."
In a small human town, there was a cute little girl with a few freckles, skipping along the way and greeting everyone she saw in the town.
The girl's name is Anna. She has long flaxen hair, which is a rare sight. She is fourteen years old and an orphan. She lost both her parents in an accident four years ago.
Later, thanks to the nuns in a small church in the town and everyone in the town, she is able to live in good health until now.
Although I have lived a rather hard life over the years and have not enjoyed any wealth or glory.
But even so, she was still full of gratitude towards the church and everyone in this town.
Because of this, she has always believed in the main god of the church, the goddess of light and war - Marian.
Anna was very devout and went to church to pray every Sunday. Neither wind nor rain could stop her.
At the same time, she would be extremely serious about anything related to God. Although she was not very old, she was already a staunch believer.
"Anna, you're here so early today. Others haven't arrived yet. Please go in first."
A plump nun who was cleaning outside the church saw Anna running to the church door, panting a little, and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Sister Kelly. I'll go in first."
Anna smiled and greeted everyone, then pushed the door and entered the church.
When she went in, as expected, there were only a few people sitting on the rows of benches. At the front of the church was a statue of the goddess Marian and a pulpit that only the bishop could use, surrounded by the church's unique colored glass.
In this remote area, perhaps the glass in this church is the most valuable material used in the construction of the entire town.
"I say, Anna, do you have to choose to sit in the same row with me?"
Just as Anna found a seat and was about to sit down, she immediately heard a voice with a very obvious sense of annoyance.
Anna looked back at this time and found that it was the most difficult old lady in the town - Grandma Baotini.
This old lady was notoriously troublesome, and no one in the entire town dared to mess with her.
"Sorry, sorry, Grandma Baotini, I'll change places now."
Anna quickly apologized and sat down in another seat.
This grandma has a very strange personality. Anna can get along with everyone in the town, but she has no way to communicate with this grandma.
"Really? Young people nowadays really don't know how to respect the elderly anymore."
After Anna left, Baotini was still mumbling, as if she had endless chatter.
Looking at the old lady's complaints, Anna smiled helplessly.
This small town is like this. Although it is small and sparsely populated, it is full of human touch. Anna can even call out everyone's name.
Here, life seems to always remain the same, but it remains stable and harmonious. Even the guards symbolically sent by the empire have not taken action for many years.
This is Anna's home, and Anna loves it very much.
As time passed, more and more people came, the church became more and more lively, and the bishop also arrived.
When the bell rang, representing nine o'clock in the morning, Anna knew that it was time to pray.
The noisy sounds in the entire church stopped at this moment, and everyone looked at the bishop with a holy and solemn expression.
Then, at the bishop's signal, he slowly closed his eyes, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and lowered his head slightly.
"Thank you, great goddess Marian, for bringing us a stable life. Thank you for your protection, for keeping us safe from disasters. Thank you for your great power, for driving away the demons for us..."
At this moment, the church became silent. No one was talking, and everyone was praying to the goddess Marian in their hearts.
The only sound in the entire church was the crackling sound of the burning candles.
A sacred atmosphere appeared in the church. With the prayers of everyone, the statue of the goddess Marian, which was already bathed in the sun, became even more holy.
Originally, this would be another ordinary and simple day, but the sound of horse hooves broke this peaceful day.
"Whee, wee."
A burst of hurried horse hoofbeats sounded from outside the church door.
After hearing this voice, all the people praying in the church, including the bishop and nuns, frowned.
From nine to ten o'clock in the morning on Sunday, the church holds routine prayers. During this time, no unauthorized disturbances are allowed. How come someone came in on horseback?
"This is blasphemy! Wait a minute, I'll go out and take a look."
After saying this, the bishop walked towards the door angrily. He would never allow anyone to mess around in his church.
"puff."
But when the bishop just opened the door, he was met with a flash of knife light. The knife flashed across his neck. The sharp blade was like cutting tofu. Without even much force, it had already cut off all the bishop's life.
The bishop's head rolled to Anna's feet, blood spurting out.
Looking at the bishop's lifeless, wide eyes, Anna simply froze where she was.
The huge shock made her not know what to do now.
"Ahhh!!!"
