"Are there other guests coming?" the old man asked. "From your expression, is there any good news?"
"Yes, after that Kiana left, Lady Yulandel and Lady Rita arrived almost the next moment." Leonie said honestly, "They asked some questions about Siegfried, and then brought some news on behalf of Bishop Otto. Soon, the ban on Kaslana at the Destiny Airport will gradually begin to relax. We... can take back the glory that belongs to us."
"Yulandel and Rita..." The old man tapped the table with his knuckles. "Yulandel is the one who's asking about Siegfried, right?"
"You really are worthy of being the head of the family." Leonie nodded and said.
The old man frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "...I see, Leonie, you should also prepare yourself. You are just old enough to become a Valkyrie."
"But, Patriarch, your body..."
"Don't worry, I won't fall so soon. Besides, isn't becoming a Valkyrie your dream since childhood?" the old man said with a smile.
Another place.
Ludwig placed a bouquet of flowers in front of a tombstone with the name Elena Kaslana on it.
"Kaslana will come back," he said.
Chapter 67 Sisters Talk
Yulandel walked out of Kaslana's mansion with mixed feelings. Judging from Leonie Kaslana's words and Kaslana's family's own accounts of some of Siegfried's early actions, her father Siegfried might indeed not care much about the people around him, but the main reason was that Lucifer's evaluation of Siegfried was too shocking, and Yulandel found it difficult to accept that her father received such an evaluation.
After all, he is still your biological father.
Shaking off the messy thoughts in her mind, Yulandel looked at Kiana, who was standing not far away and seemed to be talking to another girl with white hair and a high ponytail and wearing sunglasses. She took a deep breath and sorted out her emotions. At least she couldn't show these emotions in front of her sister. This was the first time she and Kiana met after the Battle of Destiny.
Rita set her sights on the girl with a high ponytail. According to the current situation, even if Kiana took back control of her body from Lucifer, Shaniyats would not let anyone be around Kiana casually. And Rita had some impression of the stronger and more reliable Shaniyats among them.
Even though Rita had seen Misterine and Sariel, who only showed up in the War of Destiny, she had seen this one... Rita really didn't remember having seen this Shaniyat before.
"Sorry for the wait, Kiana." Yulandel stepped forward and said, "Sorry, I was delayed there for a while."
"It's okay, I didn't wait too long." Kiana said with a smile. She subconsciously wanted to hand over the bag of pastries in her hand, but suddenly remembered that she had accidentally eaten all the pastries while she was chatting with Feng. But when she raised her hand, she found that there seemed to be something in the bag again.
She looked down and found that pastries had been put inside.
She remembered that Feng bought two bags of pastries. When she was chatting with Feng just now, it seemed that she was the only one eating. Feng didn't eat much...
She looked at Feng, but Feng...she didn't know where he was looking because he was wearing sunglasses.
Tsk, these sunglasses are so annoying. And I don’t know why, but Feng looks so disgusting when he wears them.
Noticing Kiana's gaze, Yulandel also looked at the girl standing next to Kiana and asked with some confusion: "Who is this..."
"He... ah, no, she is..." Kiana felt a little embarrassed. Is this person Lucifer? That's not good, right?
"Lucifer Shaniyat, it's been such a long time since I last saw you, how can you not recognize him?" Feng shrugged.
Yulandel opened her eyes wide, and Rita beside her couldn't help but show a surprised expression. They knew that Lucifer chose to return the body to Kiana, but they didn't expect... Why is the body of this Lord Lucifer still a girl?
"Lucifer...Sir, what's wrong with your body..." Yulandel asked with a sly smile.
"It's just a container, don't worry too much. Don't your bishops still have a lot of soul steel bodies?" Feng didn't seem to care at all. "Okay, you two can chat about whatever you want. It might be inconvenient for you to be here. Let's go walk around first."
In this kind of situation where sisters meet again, they must say something. With me here, it's okay for Kiana, but Yulandel might be a little restrained. And looking at the complicated look in Yulandel's eyes when she knew her identity just now, I knew that this child was probably bothered by my evaluation of her biological father.
Maria is the same, why does she tell everything to her niece...
In short, if I am present, the two children will definitely not be able to chat happily, so it would be better for me to leave first and come back after they have finished chatting.
After Feng finished saying this, he waved his hand and left. Just as Feng had thought, after Yulandel knew that Feng was Lucifer himself, she really wanted to ask Feng why he evaluated Siegfried like that, but she did not open her mouth, because she knew in her heart that the perspective of this Shaniyat ancestor was different from hers, and she just... couldn't accept it for the time being.
When she talked to Leonie before, she saw that Kaslana had been really resentful of Siegfried over the years, and Shaniyat hated Siegfried to the core. In comparison, the official information from the Schicksal Headquarters was more subtle.
Seeing Feng disappear from her sight, Yulandel looked at Kiana again, and after hesitating for a moment, she said, "Kiana, are you... feeling better?"
"No matter what, I am Feng... the former [Container] of Lucifer, so my body must be very strong." Kiana said with her hands on her hips and a smile, then handed the bag of pastries in her hand to Youlan Daier, "Try it, these are pastries that Lucifer bought personally."
"Are these pastries bought by ancestor Lucifer himself..." Yulandel's eyes fell on the pastries in the bag, and she remembered the figure who saved her when she fell from the aircraft.
She reached out and took out a piece of cake and tasted it: "It tastes good. It looks like... Ancestor Lucifer is a little different from what I imagined."
Originally, because Lucifer's ancestor saved me and sealed my memory for his own safety, I thought Lucifer was actually a gentle person. Now it seems that maybe my thinking was a bit conservative. This legendary hero... seems to be quite approachable?
"Yeah, it's completely different from the legend..." Kiana also took out a piece of cake and handed it to Rita, "Do you want to eat it, Rita?"
By the way, she complained in her heart that before she knew that this guy was Lucifer, she had no way of connecting this guy who felt uncomfortable if he didn't argue with her for a day with the hero described in the legend.
No, at least judging from his feelings towards Alicia, the legend is not wrong.
Wait, speaking of this, I remembered my identity again... That guy used to argue with me every day, and even told me ghost stories before bedtime when I was a child. Is there some personal grudge involved?
Although he really doesn't remember it now, he and Zhongyan did have a heart-to-heart friendship.
"Since Lady Kiana has said so, Rita will respectfully obey your orders." Rita said with a smile, and then took the pastry handed to her by Kiana. She did not rush to eat it, but looked at it for a while, and by the way, she re-outlined the information about Lucifer in her mind.
She and Yulandel had the same idea. This ancestor of Shanyiat was surprisingly approachable.
However, she had seen this ancestor when he was still using Kiana's body, and his indifferent behavior at that time did not seem to be fake... He was indeed a complicated ancestor.
But at least it can be confirmed that he has no ill will towards Yulandel and Kiana, and that is enough.
Yulandel finished eating the pastries and looked at Kiana again. She could see that although Kiana was smiling, she must be worried about something. She just asked Kiana if she was okay, and Kiana answered about her physical condition. Kiana must know what she really wanted to ask, but she chose to avoid the question.
This shows that Kiana has not yet completely recovered.
"By the way, Kiana, since you no longer exist as a [container], can you agree to what I said before about coming to the Eternal Blade?" Yulandel asked. Her idea was very simple. Since Kiana hasn't gotten over it yet, she would just spend more time and bring Kiana to her side. As long as she worked hard, Kiana would definitely get over it after a while.
Rita's eyes twitched slightly. Has Lady Yulandel not given up on getting Lady Kiana the Immortal Blade?
"That... is not necessary." Kiana smiled helplessly, "Feng... Ancestor Lucifer said that he has arranged a schedule for me..."
When she said this, she remembered that when she came here, Feng gave her a thumbs up and said, "Don't worry, your previous teacher will still be your teacher. In addition, your practical lessons will be personally guided by Alicia and I."
So... Teacher Wei Erwei and the others are still my teachers this time? And it has become a one-on-one teaching?
And this time they seemed to be teaching her as Ying Jie? Just thinking about it made Kiana feel that her future was a bit bleak.
"Has this been arranged..." Yulandel felt very sorry, but after all, it was Lucifer who spoke up, and she had no good reason to object. She believed that Lucifer's ancestor must be doing this for Kiana's good. She just felt sorry that she might not have more time to spend with her sister like before.
"Lord Lucifer must have his reasons for making such arrangements. After all, from Rita's point of view, Lord Lucifer is at least quite good to Lady Kiana." Rita said.
"Rita, there's no need for you to add a honorific to me, right?" Kiana waved her hand and said, "I'm not like Bianca, a S-class Valkyrie of destiny. Putting aside my identity as a [Container], I'm just an A-class Valkyrie."
"Really?" Rita smiled slightly, "But, Lady Kiana, don't you know that Lord Lucifer has already announced that you are a Shaniyat recognized by him? Moreover, Lord Lucifer just went to buy cakes for you personally. It is reasonable for Rita to give you a respectful title, right?"
Not to mention that a colleague of Shaniyat who worked in the intelligence department and might die from overwork reminded him that Lord Lucifer thought very highly of Kiana.
Kiana recalled what someone had said before, pursed her lips and said, "...I'm still not used to being called that."
"Maybe you'll get used to it later?" Rita said.
"Maybe..." Kiana sighed.
"By the way, Kiana, I..." Yulandel opened her mouth and looked at Rita, "Um, Rita, I have something else I want to say to Kiana..."
"Rita understands. Lord Lucifer said from the beginning that he would set aside time for the two of you. Rita naturally understands that." Rita bowed. "Then, Rita will take her leave first. I wish you two a pleasant conversation."
After Rita left, Yulandel looked at Kiana again and hesitated for a while. She was still thinking about how to start the conversation, and Kiana spoke first: "Bianca, do you want to ask me about Mr. Siegfried?"
"Hmm..." Yulandel nodded somewhat unexpectedly, "How did you know?"
"Uh... just now when I was chatting with Lord Lucifer, he said that you came here basically because of Mr. Siegfried's matter." Kiana replied.
"Is that so... Then, Kiana, what do you think of him?" Yulandel asked.
"Just my opinion..." Kiana recalled her memories before she was 12 years old, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Mr. Siegfried might be a little rough in raising children, and he's not very good at cooking, and he's very good at fighting Honkai beasts..."
"Gone?"
"Gone……"
The two girls looked at each other and fell silent.
The reason why Kiana remained silent was that she had been racking her brains to think about how to explain Siegfried's image to Yulandel without belittling him. After thinking for a long time, she could only come up with a few words. She couldn't tell Yulandel that Siegfried often told her stories about "Kiana's" childhood, right?
It can't be said that Siegfried never mentioned to me that he had such a sister before him, right?
She racked her brains and found that after some of her filters about Siegfried were shattered under Feng's influence, she really couldn't find any way to restore his image in front of Siegfried's own daughter.
The reason why Yulandel was silent was that she guessed the reason why Kiana fell silent.
The two of them just looked at each other in an awkward silence.
Finally, it was Kiana who broke the silence: "Anyway, Mr. Siegfried is a pretty good person. He was the one who told me about Kaslana's family motto, and that sentence has been encouraging me for a long time."
"Qiana..." Yulandel looked at Qiana with a complicated expression and said, "You... don't have to force yourself. Just tell me your intuitive opinion."
"No, I really didn't..."
Yulandel sighed and said quietly, "The Kaslana family does not welcome Siegfried and his daughter. I should have been the one to hear these words, but in the end it was you... Also, I already know what Lucifer said about my father, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Kiana was silent, and finally could only try to struggle for Siegfried: "I believe that Mr. Siegfried still regards protecting the people and upholding justice as his responsibility. When he was living with me, he often went to clean up Honkai beasts and protect others."
"Other than that?"
"there is none left……"
Chapter 68: Heir
"Is that so...the two sisters have already met..." Otto said with some amusement while looking at the documents in his hand, "Ivar, what do you think when Yulandel sees Kaslana's attitude towards Siegfried? She has recovered her memory as Kiana, but suddenly learned that the father she admired as a child was evaluated as a 'waste' in front of the glorious ancestor. I'm sure she won't feel good, right?"
"This is something that Rita should be responsible for." Ivar said, "Rita is indeed the most suitable assistant for Bianca."
"It's rare to hear such high praise from Shanyat's Black Abyss for a person who is not of divine descent..." Otto said jokingly.
Compared with the Shaniat family and the Kaslana family, Destiny seems to be conservative about some of Siegfried's records. There is no other way to be conservative. After all, some of Siegfried's things need to be made public. The reason for making them public is to prevent Anti-Entropy from using them to attack Destiny in public opinion. Therefore, Destiny needs to explain the reason for Siegfried's defection. The reason for being conservative is that no matter how bad Siegfried is, the Kaslana family must at least keep some face to the outside world.
It's embarrassing enough that the head of the family took the lead in defecting. Do we have to tell the outside world that Kaslana was blind to choose a head of the family who doesn't care about the family at all?
No matter what, Kaslana is one of the three major families that established the Mandate of Heaven, and its thousand years of achievements are unquestionable, not to mention that the surname Kaslana also carries many memories of Otto. Even for Kallen's sake, Otto will not let Kaslana fall to the bottom.
If Kallen saw Kaslana like this when she came back...
"Rita has proved her excellence with her actions," Ivar added.
"Ha..." Otto finished reviewing the document in his hand, picked up a new document and said, "Has the Apokalis family made any moves recently?"
"They have started to contact Theresa, and according to the intelligence from the World Serpent, they have also contacted Cocolia. The defense force in Haiyuan City is also increasing." Ivar frowned slightly and said, "My Lord Bishop, do we need to clear them out in advance?"
"They are just a bunch of clowns jumping around. There is no need to pay too much attention to them." Otto said indifferently, but he was silent for a moment and then said, "Keep an eye on their movements first and send me all the information as soon as possible."
"clear."
The Apocalis family... oh, they really never give up...
Otto tapped his fingers lightly on the armrests of his chair. He hadn't heard any news about the Apokalis family for a long time. Although it was also one of the three major families of the Mandate of Heaven, after the replacement of the old with the new five hundred years ago, Apokalis was gradually expelled from the power center of the Mandate of Heaven by Otto.
This time, the Far East branch rebelled, and Destiny was slow to take action against it. Otto had already anticipated that those guys would want to take advantage of this to stir up trouble. The same thing happened when Cecilia and Siegfried got married, but at that time it was just the forerunners in secret who wanted to warn him. The old guys in Apokalis thought that Destiny was really going to change the bishop, and they were more active than Shaniat.
Their fate was naturally simple.
Did they really think that Otto Apokalis couldn't lift a knife? His hands were stained with the blood of his relatives.
You know, five hundred years ago, Otto ended the old Mandate of Heaven system with the assistance of Shaniad. His nephew and his sister did not escape his reckoning in the end, and his brother and his family were exiled to Iceland by him. Basically, all the direct descendants of the head of the Apokalis family were killed in revenge by him.
Perhaps it was because Leoto had not taken any serious action against the three major families for hundreds of years after the establishment of the New Mandate of Heaven, which led some unwilling people in Apocalis to have some inappropriate thoughts.
But it also happens that it is a good thing that they jumped out at this time.
He had been a bishop for too long. After Kallen's resurrection, he should have chosen the next successor. Not to mention that Otto had always been clear about his position and what he had done. He was afraid that Lucifer would hold him accountable sooner or later.
As for the candidates for successors, at present, he is more optimistic about Yulandel and Theresa. One is a student whom he personally taught and guided, and the other is his "granddaughter" whom he has poured a lot of effort into.
It's just that these two candidates are too soft-hearted. The existence of some evil-minded people in the Apokalis family is like a time bomb to them, so Otto plans to take this opportunity to completely remove the Apokalis family from the destiny.
As for who is more likely to become the bishop between Yulandel and Theresa, Otto originally preferred Yulandel. After all, Yulandel has the strong support of the strongest family in the destiny, and she will also have support from Kaslana after the revitalization of Kaslana. In this way, her position as bishop cannot be more stable.
But after Lucifer returned, Otto realized that Lucifer might not have the idea of letting Yulandel become a bishop.
So he turned his attention to Theresa, ready to pave the way for Theresa, at least it shouldn't be as difficult as it was for him back then. And Theresa was different from himself. He had the assistance of Eleanor and Shaniyat at that time, but Theresa's relationship with Shaniyat was not good now.
One of Otto's tasks is to find a way to restore the relationship between Theresa and Shaniat to the period of Cecilia.
He was able to command the Black Abyss because of Eleanor's will, but that didn't mean he could transfer the command to Theresa when he stepped down as bishop.
Without the assistance of [Black Abyss], it is easy to get stuck in dealing with some things.
In addition, even Otto knew that as the "tyrant in the sky" as Walter Joyce called him, some of his policies and measures were indeed inappropriate, so it was just right to leave all these reforms to Theresa.
There is no need for the next Otto Apokalis to appear as future Bishops of Heaven's Will.
But Theresa is still a little naive, and there are still some other obstacles that have not been eliminated, so it is not possible to expect her to succeed to the position of bishop in the short term.
