After all, no matter how much he looked down on the boy, the boy was still his younger brother. In front of Miss Shaniyat who visited the Apokalis family, he had to reprimand the boy before the other party became disgusted with the boy. In his opinion, what the boy tinkered with should be the things that the Shaniyat family despised the most, and the Shaniyat family played an important role in the Church of Destiny. Recently, he heard from his father that the Castle Council had been trying to seize the three major families' voice in Destiny, but because of the Shaniyat family and the Kaslana family, two families with top military power in Europe, they dared not act rashly.

For this reason, the Apokalis family could not afford to cause displeasure to the Shaniyats at this time.

To his surprise, the eldest daughter of Shaniyat did not show any displeasure towards his brother's behavior and even expressed approval, which made him feel relieved.

"Your brother is called Otto Apokalis, right?" the little girl suddenly spoke again.

"Miss Eleanor knew him?"

"Is there anyone in Klosten who doesn't know that Otto Apokalis, the youngest child of the Apokalis family, is a weak, useless, bookworm?"

"..."

"Now it seems that he is not a waste, and liking to read is not a bad thing. He is just not good at fighting... In the future, he may be a wise man who can make destiny and the lives of the people move forward."

"…It's just some clever tricks, don't deserve such praise, right?"

"No one's future can be easily determined by others."

As for Otto Apokalis, it should be said that the two had never met in a formal occasion, but in Eleanor's memory, there was a person who seemed to match the characteristics of Otto. Unfortunately, every time she saw him in the library, he would lower his head, borrow a book and leave.

If possible, she would indeed like to walk into the courtyard to see if this Otto was the boy she saw in the library. However, according to the rules, she was only here with her father to visit the head of the Apokalis family, and the courtyard was generally not suitable for an outsider to enter at will.

She is the eldest daughter of Shanyiat, and her every word and action represents Shanyiat, so she must learn to be steady and not leave any opportunity for others to find fault with her.

Anyway, if I meet him again in the library, I will know him, so there is no need to be rude here.

After all, it was not only his father, the head of Shanniat family, who came here today, but also the head of Kaslana family. His father said that what they were going to discuss today was the actions of the Castle Council. The heads of the three major families were all here, and as the designated future head of Shanniat, he naturally could not do anything that would bring shame to the Shanniat family.

Otto's brother was responsible for leading him and introducing the layout of the Apocalis mansion, so it was not appropriate for him to just wander around.

Just ...

Eleanor's eyes twitched as she thought of Kallen Kaslana, the daughter of the head of the Kaslana family, whom she met on the road.

Since coming here, I haven't seen Kallen go anywhere. As for the overly lively Kallen, her father, Francis Kaslana, the head of the Kaslana family, seems to have no idea what to do with her, so he just lets her do what she wants.

It was really... too rude. After all, she was the eldest daughter of one of the three great families of Tianming. How could she be so ignorant of etiquette? The three great families were the face of Tianming, not to mention that Karen was the daughter of the head of the family...

But I think Kallen's situation is different from mine. After all, I was recognized by Heiyuan Baihua a few years ago and was directly designated as the future head of the Shanyiat family. I don't know how many eyes are staring at me.

Although Eleanor looked down on Karin's "rude and disrespectful" behavior, in her heart, she was actually somewhat envious of Karin's freedom. After all, even if she was designated as the future head of the family and appeared steady and decent in front of outsiders, she was still just a 12-year-old child.

What's more, the Kaslana family and the Shaniyat family have different ways of training their descendants. The Kaslana family doesn't care much about so many rules and is often described by others as the least aristocratic nobles. As for the rules of the Shaniyat family... every Shaniyat is proud of his or her identity as a Shaniyat. They have been taught since they were young that they must never tarnish the glory of a Shaniyat.

Coupled with the influence of the uproarious incident hundreds of years ago, Shanniat enforced the rules for his tribesmen more strictly.

Thinking of what she had read in the Shanyat Scroll about the head of the family hundreds of years ago, Eleanor couldn't help but blush...

Because of a woman, all the vassal families of Shaniyate in Europe were mobilized to form an army to fight against King Arthur on the other side of the strait. In the end, the war was averted only with the mediation of the Apocalis family. That would have been fine, but as the head of the Shaniyate family, she even went to the monastery to beg for a last meeting...

Even for the sake of that woman, the head of the family remained unmarried for his entire life. He was still a woman himself, but he was still thinking about that woman until his death. He even went to the holy land of trial to beg the great past heroes to grant her one last dream. The woman he was thinking about was King Arthur's queen...

That's right, this patriarch was none other than the famous Lake Knight Lancelot of that era, one of the most adaptable Shanyat people in the Black Abyss and White Flower in thousands of years. He also mastered the power of another God's Key and transformed it into a holy sword that was later sung by generations as the Indestructible Lake Light.

But in the end... Lancelot really lost all his face.

She was originally the most outstanding head of the Shanniat family in thousands of years. She was even raised by the Apokalis family's ancestor, the enlightened one Tianhui. Her name and deeds should have been written in history in an upright manner, praised by future generations, and become a legend revered by later Shanniat. But in the end... she became a shame that the Shanniat family was unwilling to mention.

Although the details of the incident were eventually covered up by the Apokalis family and the Shaniyat family, every generation of family heads since then would use Lancelot's incident to educate the next generation of family heads, and even other direct descendants of Shaniyat, to let them know and remember this absurd incident that happened hundreds of years ago.

No, is that Guinevere so pretty? She is the queen! And even if that person is a man, he shouldn't be like this, right?

When seeing this history, Eleanor's mind was full of question marks and great confusion. How could the Shanyiat family produce such an outstanding person?

"I will never do that again." Eleanor thought to herself.

Although Lancelot was a disgrace to the Shanyiat family, it was ultimately only a personal moral shame. She did a good job in the Shanyiat family. When she was alive, there was no place in Europe where any high-level Honkai beasts dared to come out.

But... even so, what Lancelot did was indeed a shame for the Shaniyat family, who valued the honor of Shaniyat more than anything else.

Eleanor sighed, turned and followed Otto's brother to look elsewhere in the Apokalis home.

And at this time inside the wall.

Kallen felt very sorry that Otto's small plane was damaged, and at the same time she was angry about Otto's brother's behavior, saying that Otto's brother should not disrespect his efforts like this.

"It's amazing that you can make this little plane by yourself, why does he look down on you?"

Because I can't lift a sword, and I'm weak and sickly...

Otto smiled bitterly in his heart, but he finally chose to avoid answering Kallen's question: "It's okay, I... can still make another one if you like."

This is the first person who recognizes him, so Otto is eager to keep Kallen, hoping that he can do something for Kallen.

"Okay, is that really possible?!" Karen's eyes sparkled.

Otto nodded affirmatively: "Yes, sure."

“Great!” Karen jumped excitedly. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. “Oh, by the way, great inventor, I have one more thing to ask of you…”

Otto tilted his head.

"Come and help me save the world!"

Three heroes

"You two... hide over there. I will protect you until support arrives."

He always heard Kallen say how brave her father, Francis Kaslana, was in the fight against Honkai, and how he and the head of Shaniyat had defended the current destiny and protected the safety of the people. When she grew up, she would also become a brave warrior against Honkai like her father.

[If it's that kind of person, he can definitely save the world, right? ]

With such aspirations, he asked Kallen to take him to watch the battle of the head of Kaslana family.

But...it was clearly just an ordinary elimination of Honkai beasts, why did such a change happen in the end?

The Honkai appeared in front of them without warning, and a Honkai beast was even about to rush in front of him and Kallen, but before they could scream, the Honkai beast turned into ashes in front of them.

The soldier holding two guns asked them to find a place to hide and said he would take care of everything and protect them.

The receding figure was like a god, and he thought that everything would end peacefully.

But... the one who finally found them was the girl who had been sitting quietly reading in the library. He knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Shanyiat family. They had many interactions on weekdays. She knew him and Kallen. But he never thought that she had already stepped onto the battlefield at that time, nor did he think that she, who used to look quiet, would be fully armed.

"…It's all over. You are safe."

"Eleanor...you're here...By the way, where is Dad?" Karen asked the girl standing in front of her.

But the only response she got was silence.

"Dad, is he injured? I heard a loud noise before..."

"..."

"Eleanor..."

"This should be the first time you have encountered such a situation, and you seem to be quite frightened. Otto, could you please take Kallen back first?"

Kallen still wanted to ask about her father's whereabouts, but he understood the hidden meaning of Eleanor's words, but he couldn't believe that the result would be like that. Kallen's father was so powerful and even possessed the power of Kaslana's family weapon, Skyfire... How could it be possible...

It was not until the solemn bells rang in the church and the pastor's heavy eulogy mixed with Karen's crying reached his ears that he realized that all this was true.

"...Francis Kaslana, we thank him. Although his body has burned, his soul has also rested. He will always be a warrior that Kaslana is proud of..."

He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Eleanor who was standing silently with a sword. Shaniyat and Kaslana had a thousand-year-old alliance. Every time a Kaslana died in battle, the Shaniyat family would come to express condolences. Similarly, every time a Shaniyat died in battle, a Kaslana would come to express condolences.

This made him realize clearly that the head of Kaslana family, whom he regarded as a "god", was indeed dead.

Even though the coffin was surrounded by flowers, beneath the fragrance of the flowers, he could smell a hint of burnt charcoal that no amount of flowers could cover up.

As the mourners gradually left, the church became empty and quiet, so quiet that even Karen's slight sobs were unusually clear.

He really wanted to comfort Kallen, and as an omnipotent inventor, he wanted to do something for her... But what could he do at this moment? He could only watch Kallen grieve, and he could only watch all this happen.

If I hadn't asked Kallen for help, would this have happened?

In a daze, he noticed that Eleanor had never left and became one of the only three people left in the church.

He suddenly remembered that when he took Kallen away, the remaining Honkai beasts were eliminated by Eleanor. If it was Eleanor, if it was the Shaniyat family... I heard that there was a relic left by the ancestor of the Apokalis family in the forbidden area of ​​the Shaniyat family. It recorded thousands of knowledge, but only people with great wisdom could get its recognition and lift its seal.

For thousands of years, no one has been able to unlock the seal. In order to prevent the relic from falling into the hands of outsiders, it was eventually kept by the Shanniyat family and gradually forgotten by the world.

If I could help Kallen, if I could make her no longer sad...

With this thought in mind, when Eleanor was leaving, he chased after her and told her his request.

Eleanor looked at him. Contrary to his expectations, she did not hesitate too much, nor did she question whether he was qualified to touch the relic. Instead, she simply agreed and took him to the forbidden area of ​​Shaniyat.

That was the first time he made a request to her. At that time, he didn't know how many times he would make requests to her for the same reason in the future, but... she had never refused him.

He asked her so much, but in the end she only asked him for one thing.

But that’s all for another day.

He successfully unlocked the seal of the relic, obtained the power of the relic, and got the answer from the other party. As long as he was willing to give up his own life, it would be a simple matter to resurrect Kallen's father.

He agreed without hesitation, not noticing that Eleanor's expression became a little strange at that moment. After obtaining the power of the relic, he ran all the way back to the church and came to Karen's side.

Kallen had stopped crying at this time. She was a little confused when she saw him coming back. He didn't say a word. He followed the instructions of the relic and produced a golden lance from his hand. However... he was a little surprised when he saw the lance, because this lance was really similar to the one Eleanor had in her hand when she came to save him and Kallen...

But he didn't have time to think so much. In front of Karen's puzzled eyes, he explained his purpose: "Karen, your father will come back to life... Someone told me that as long as I use my life in exchange... As long as you are no longer sad, I..."

Before he could finish, he was slapped hard on the face by Karen. Karen, who had stopped crying, looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, "What are you thinking about! Daddy protected you, not for you to do such a thing!"

The golden lance in his hand fell to the ground and rolled all the way to the feet of Eleanor who followed. Eleanor looked down at the gradually disappearing golden lance, then looked at him with a thoughtful expression.

"I'm sorry..." Kallen cried, "I'm sorry... Otto, I don't want to see anyone die again..."

In the dim light of tears, Kallen saw Eleanor standing silently not far away, and remembered how she looked when she met her on the battlefield, and how she was powerless in the face of the collapse, and expressed her strongest wish at the moment:

"Help me, Otto, Eleanor. I must become strong, strong enough to protect everyone!"

A few years later.

"…With Lady Kallen and Lady Eleanor leading the knights to fight against the Honkai outside, and Lady Otto making plans inside, the destiny is able to protect our peace. These three lords are the most dazzling stars of our time…"

The people on the stage were performing a newly written play, and the people in the audience were cheering for it. Otto, one of the characters in the play, happened to pass by at this time.

He glanced at the stage, stopped to watch for a while, then nodded with some satisfaction and left.

He didn't have much time to continue watching these dramas here, because he was on his way to a dessert shop to keep an appointment. Because he was distracted by some things, he was now a little late for the agreed time.

When they arrived at the dessert shop, the other two parties in the drama were already sitting there, seemingly having a conversation. Karen was still the same as before, with a plate of finished dessert in front of her, while the dessert in front of Eleanor was barely touched, and she was drinking tea like a normal noble lady.

Seeing Otto coming over, Karen quickly waved and said, "Otto, here, here!"

"I'm sorry, my father was a little busy and delayed us a little." Otto apologized and sat down. "I'll pay for the dessert today."

"Who told you to be late..." Karen said with a hollow look at Otto, "It was you who proposed this time. Eleanor and I cleared out the Honkai beasts in advance and rushed here... Eleanor, don't just drink tea and don't talk. Weren't you also very anxious before?"

Eleanor looked up: "Did I?"

Kallen was stunned for a moment: "...You obviously have it!"

Why did Eleanor change her expression so quickly? When I went with her to deal with that tricky Honkai beast, she said that we should finish the battle quickly so as not to be late.

"Alright, alright. Anyway, you all arrived on time. I was the only one who held back and couldn't make it." Otto quickly spoke to comfort Kallen who was sulking. "By the way, when I came here, I saw someone performing a play in Klosten. Guess who the main character is?"

"A drama? Is it the deeds of Siegfried, the dragon-slaying ancestor of the Kaslana family, or the legend of Lucifer, the ancestor of Shaniat?" Kallen's attention was immediately diverted. Kallen has always been very interested in the dramas in the city, and would often drag Otto and Eleanor to watch them whenever she was free.

"Neither. It's you and Eleanor." Otto said with a smile, "You have become a legendary figure in the drama written by everyone, Karen."

"Eh? Me?" Kallen was stunned for a moment, "But I...didn't do anything?"

"At the age of 13, not long after receiving training, you cleared out a dozen Honkai beasts that appeared in an area by yourself. At the age of 15, you were recognized by Judah and led the Knights of Destiny to successfully suppress the impending Honkai beast tide, blocking the Honkai from people's lives." Eleanor put down the teacup in her hand, "You have become the most dazzling star in Kaslana for hundreds of years. This is not something you have done without doing anything."

"Yes, Karin, this is the honor you deserve." Otto nodded and said. He even felt that those people didn't praise you well enough and didn't work hard enough. Next time, he would write a script himself and let those people perform it.

"That's not something I can do alone." Kallen was a little dissatisfied with the two's reaction, "You two have obviously made a lot of efforts to protect the people."

When she was 13 years old, after her father Francis Kaslana died in battle, she learned combat from Eleanor, and the two of them cleared out many Honkai beasts together. Otto was in charge of logistical work such as weapon maintenance and daily arrangements. If we talk about achievements, the achievements of these two people cannot be ignored, okay?

And to be honest, in terms of combat experience, Kallen still felt that she was not as good as Eleanor, because Eleanor was sent to the battlefield to fight against Honkai at the age of 8, while she was still playing at Kaslana's house at that time... Kallen felt a little angry when she talked about this, they knew each other before, but Eleanor ran to the battlefield so early without telling her.

"I'm going to the northern battlefield from now on. I can only rely on you to deal with the Honkai beasts in the south." Eleanor said, "But I believe that with you and Otto here, the Honkai beasts here won't cause any trouble."

"The northern battlefield..." Karen remembered that the Shaniyat family had indeed been responsible for guarding the northern region and fighting against the Honkai beasts that kept appearing there. As the future head of the Shaniyat family, Eleanor would definitely go to the northern battlefield.

"Well... Eleanor, if you ever go to the north, you must tell me and Otto! Remember to write to me regularly." Karen said, "From now on, Eleanor, you will be in charge of the north, and I will take care of the south, and Otto will take care of the logistics."

Eleanor glanced at Otto, then looked away.

She suddenly remembered the wish Karen had made when she was dragged by Karen to watch the shooting stars with Otto.
