Chris's Faith of Fire

"That's not the case." I raised my head and tilted my ears to listen to the sound of the wind around me, and looked at the twin moons in the sky.

"I'm verbally awkward and always have been..."

"Can you talk to me?"

I really want to find someone to talk to, but I don’t want to talk to anyone about this kind of thing. Women don’t care. Talking to men will only make me feel ashamed.

What worries me is Noelle’s matter and Fami’s matter.

Fami liked me, and I also liked him, but because of my growing jealousy and Fami's ambiguity, I left him behind, and even came up with the extreme idea of ​​leaving Fami to Ailian. Strengthening the relationship with the empire, his use value lies in this, so that he can give up his mind.

And Noelle has a crush on me, but I can only regard him as a friend...

There is no way to describe this feeling.

"I'm very sorry. Judging from your face, it seems that I have put you in a difficult position."

Randall rushed to apologize as if he could read minds. It was not his fault... Looking back, Sophie was probably the only one who could make me completely open my heart, but it is useless to say anything now because she is no longer here.This world has magic, and it also has gods. There are two thousand gods, and above that there is a supreme goddess. I have heard enough myths among the fairies recently. They like to recall the past and regard themselves as noble. Tell strangers about your origins.

But no one can reverse the life and death of mortals.

I have heard a proverb that all men must die.

At this time, the black tea in his cup had been finished. Randall approached considerately, holding the teapot.

"Do you need a refill, Miss Chris?"

"Then, please."

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

"there's one more thing?"

Chapter 314 309. Words——3

After refilling the cup, I stopped drinking. It’s not good for girls to drink so much water. What I said is true... Very embarrassing things have happened before, so I won’t say more about them here.And I felt a little apologetic about disturbing Mr. Randall all the time, but what he said at the end, "There was another visitor recently." This sentence made me very concerned.

Taking advantage of the fact that the long night was just over halfway, I then rode Xiaowu towards the direction of Eden. It was not towards Eden, but turned towards the sea through this road. I wanted to see the sea. When I was in the northern continent, I There is no leisure and relaxation now. It is obviously the most tense moment, but I surprisingly feel that there is nothing to do. The goblins are very tough. They have the method to awaken the brave, so I must listen to them.

Xiaowu followed the wind and came to the coast. He passed through Eden from the village of the White Night tribe, saw the sacred tree of Beersheba standing in the middle of the lake, then passed through the village of the Black Night tribe and finally saw the last of Irene.The beach I'm standing on doesn't seem to belong to any of them. When I first came to Erin, I felt like this place was like a desert island that hadn't been inhabited for 1000 years. If there were no goblins here, we would probably have been there forever. Let's drift on the sea.

I stepped on the soft fine sand with my bare feet, and the sea water washed away the dust on my feet. During this time, my skin darkened a lot...obvious sunburn marks can be seen in places that are usually blocked by clothes.If it had been in the past, I would have been nagged by Catherine. Stepping on the scallop shells on the beach, feeling the weak waves rushing up one after another, listening to the sound of the waves, my thoughts seemed to have spread to the other side of the sea through the expansion of the ocean. .How much I want to leave this place immediately. Although Irene is as beautiful as a fairyland on earth, I still like the ordinary world full of thieves, businessmen, and high-ranking nobles. I want to find Fami and lean on her. She acted coquettishly in his arms...but I had to apologize first, right?

How should I speak?

It's all my fault. I left you in the empire because of my jealousy. Can you forgive me?It’s okay to do something a little too much to me. I don’t really want to hand you over to Ellen or Alyssa. I just want you to see me. After I sacrifice Salamander and make Noel a hero, I can grow up, my body can grow, and I will definitely become a competent wife when the war is over.

I don’t know if Fami will accept it, because I have always been so willful and hurt his heart.

Although Fami also has some excessive behaviors, I still believe that he is sincere to me. After all, the first time I saw the black-haired thief in the alley, I already noticed the look in his eyes. That perseverance.

"Ah, it's raining."

The water droplets hit my hair, cheeks, and arms, and gradually became more and more. I realized that it often rains here, after all, it is still an island.If you don’t take shelter from the rain quickly, you’ll catch a cold. Just when I wanted to call out Xiaowu, he had already leaned down and waited for me to ride on.

"Do you know of a place to take shelter from the rain?"

"Woo~woo~" he still answered in a very cheerful voice.

Xiaowu is indeed very familiar with the terrain of the island. I don't know if it has lived like these fairies for hundreds or thousands of years. When he took me to the cave for shelter from the rain, it only took two moments.I don't know if it's safe here in the dark, or if other monsters will appear. Even if a poisonous insect bites me in the dark, it would be very troublesome.

Hidden under a high bulging rock mass, the vines on the side just cover the entrance of the cave to prevent more rainwater from flowing in. It is like a natural shelter from the rain. It is not too dirty inside, even if you spend a night here. Offensive.

After jumping off Xiaowu's body, it did not follow him, but turned around and slipped away.

I don’t know why it left me, but then I saw a glimmer of light in the cave. I didn’t care about Xiaowu anymore, but became more vigilant. It was unusual for even the goblins to stay outside at this time, Ma. The moment Na condensed in her hand and was about to form a flame, the figure in the hole came over.

"Chris?" This familiar young voice suddenly made me relax my vigilance.

"Noelle, why are you here?"

……

Sitting around the campfire, I stretched out my hands to warm myself. I was still wearing the same tights and long coat I had worn when I came to the island.The saint's outfit was really insensitive, and there was some water on her coat. Noelle found a wooden stick and asked me to jump up and dry it off. His smile was different from Randall's, although it was the same or even bigger than him. He was gentle, but there was something fundamentally different about him that I couldn't put into words at the moment... But his smile attracted me even more.

Noelle handed me a water jug, "Are you thirsty?"

"Thank you." I answered him, "but you still haven't told me why you are here now."

His face turned red and he hesitated to say, "Because, I want to see you."

"..."

It really can’t be regarded as a reason to appear here at all.

But I don’t know how to answer for a moment. Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness.Or do I really want to see you too?

But after I realized that I was choosing my words, I realized that Noelle's enthusiasm was already a burden to me. It was completely different from Fami. I didn't feel my heart beating faster, and I was even afraid of hearing his words.

But in the end, he pretended to be emotional and replied, "I want to see you too."

I hope he can take my hesitation as shyness. After all, shy women always make boys happy.

"Ah, Chris, you must be very cold. I'll give you my cloak."

Before I could say anything, he hurriedly took off his cloak and put it on me. I didn't refuse.

The cloak was mouse-like gray, with no odor at all, just the smell of milk like his innocent cheeks.

"Thank you. By the way...Randall asked you to come to me."

"Huh? Hmm, huh." He still answered hesitantly.

I suddenly remembered what Randall said just now that he had another guest recently, and unconsciously connected this guest with Noelle. After all, his actions today were so unnatural, although he was still innocent and cute.

Although I don’t know how Noel found the forest clearing, just assume that he found it the same way as me, just by wandering around, but it seems that he can think of the conversation between them. Noel will probably ask Rand How can you get closer to me? He told Noelle to come out to find me tonight, but in the end he had to hide here because of the rain.

This is probably what happened.

Chapter 315 310. Words——4

Noel, who was not good at lying, had a red cheek. He was so clumsy...but so cute, as if he could be forgiven for anything he did.I recall that the same thing happened to this boy when we were in Lodacolo Saint. When he first appeared, he was hiding behind his father. His position was completely reversed from mine. He looked like a cute little girl, but I was unreasonable. A boy.If possible, it would be nice to be a boy, but I don't want to be a carefree boy like Fami, even though he is handsome sometimes.

"It feels like no one has been here for a long time. It's secretive but also surprises me."

I agree with the secret and surprise, but the joy Noelle mentioned is not that strong.

"I thought about the past..." I still remember the time when I was teleported to Salamander Cave because of the clown incident. At that time, I still had a good impression of Noel because he spared no effort to protect me.

"Me too..." Noelle replied.

"About Sylvie."

"I will find her, I will definitely..." The boy's face was full of determination when he mentioned his sister.

Where did Sylvie go?I don't know, but he was already a hero when he came to Parthia. Zelodia handed him over to me because she thought she didn't need to master the hero's power and it would be more advantageous to be an ally.

I wanted to use his power. Ever since Momonga died, the weak relationship between me and Noelle seemed to have been severed.So, why did Sylvie leave her dear brother?

I can't imagine that when I first saw that girl, her eyes were full of hostility. It was all because she knew that her brother was going to marry me. For this reason, she was able to follow her father's carriage to arrive alone. In a foreign country, she was able to jump off the balcony of my room for her brother, and was able to follow her immediately when she was teleported to an unknown location.All she could think about was Noelle. At that time, she only thought she was an annoying girl, but now she really felt that it would be great if they were a couple, but because of the bond between brother and sister, this long-cherished wish could never be realized.

The people he likes can't be together. It's better to say that Noelle doesn't treat Sylvie as a member of the opposite sex at all.

He picked up the fire in front of him and kept it warm. The night was very cold. We said a few words and then stopped. I didn’t know what topic to look for. When I was with Fami, I would let go of my sincerity and be together. Noisy, but the two get back together after getting angry.Even when he doesn't forgive him for something, the child will use some tough methods. This is the fundamental difference between them.

"Ah, Chris, you're still wearing that ring." Noelle looked at the ring finger of my right hand.

It was a gift he bought for me when I first went shopping in the city of Lodculosaint. Later, I left this thing in front of his house. When I arrived in Parthia, he gave it back to me. I.

Looking at the sparkling red ore in my hand, the first time I accepted it was true joy, but the second time was full of lies.What a despicable girl I am, saying sweet words to let this innocent boy fall into his own trap, whether it is for the peace of mankind or to lead to the throne that does not belong to him.

"Well...because it's the first thing you gave me, and it's very important." He replied against his will, and he could feel his body trembling when he stretched out his fingers.The flickering flames concealed my face that dared not look at him.

He paused as if he was surprised, and then smiled, "That's it, that's great."

We talked a lot after that, some of which were about reminiscing about the past, and some about the future.

I was curious to know why he was in Parthia, a part of the story which he had not told me in detail.

Noelle hesitated a little, but he would not fail to meet my request. He slowly raised his lips and began to say, he left home, left his parents, took Sylvie out to look for me, the one after leaving Sestotia. The place was attacked by Dragon Queen Alexia, and the life and death of Duke and Lady Sajavir are still unknown...

Sylvie doesn't care. She has not cared about family matters for a long time. She just wants to be by her brother's side. Noelle doesn't understand but I understand because we are both girls. How to deal with the contradictions of the people we like. I know your thoughts best.

Later he met Sir Taylor, who belonged to the Dark Blue Knights of Gilkern. This knight brought the brothers and sisters to Parthia, where they were attacked by the orcs and met Zelodia...

By the time I arrived in Parthia, Sylvie had already left. When she left, she was standing next to a man with white wings and blond hair.

When I heard these words for the first time, I felt that there was a lot that I shouldn't even understand. Just from the subtle changes in his expression, I could tell that Noelle didn't want to mention it in front of others.

The separation from Sylvie must have been very sad, but because I wanted to know, he talked about it.

Noelle started traveling just to find me. When they left home, they swore not to look back, even if the place was attacked by the Demon King's army later. I understand this feeling best.I felt helpless in my heart when Rolle Dunclosaint fell, Sophie's death and Crowe's betrayal. Obviously such big setbacks came one after another, and my heart has been suppressed, but I I couldn't cry out in one breath. At that time, I understood the helplessness of my fate.

I am not the protagonist in the story, I will die if I am not careful... Girls are the weakest and most vulnerable when they cry, so at that time I had ignored the ruin of the country and the family, the death of my parents, and the unknown whereabouts of my sister. , I could only move forward step by step, and went to Anatolia to find Noelle... But when I arrived at the door of his house, I realized that what I wanted was not the stable life like before, with Fami, Lian, Haggar's adventure is where they belong.

This is just an escape. I am afraid that once I settle down, I will become uneasy, recalling Sophie's death and the scene of mountains of corpses I saw in Agote.

It was not until I was in Anatolia that I discovered the meaning of my existence.

Crystal is more than just a Crystal Princess.

Momonga awakened Crystal, and he told me what I should pursue, which was to accept everything and face it squarely.It was my destiny to become a queen. When I was born as a princess... the moment I gained the power of Salamander, the faith of fire was imprinted in my heart.The result may not be that important in life, but with great power comes great responsibility, which is a law we must abide by. After hearing the news that my sister is still alive, that is such a great relief to me.

The sisters are all working hard for the restoration of the kingdom and the peace of this world, following the words of their father.

"Randall just told me that the elf language has magical power. Although it is not in common language, I still feel that human language also has such power."

I told Noel my idea and he nodded.

"Words are our most precious wealth... Valuable words will be written down. My father once said that the reason why nobles can be passed down for hundreds or thousands of years is because the family culture will be reduced to a short sentence. The short proverb has been passed down and is regarded as a code of conduct by subsequent generations.”

"Turn into eternal flames and start a prairie fire..." I read silently.

"That's the motto of the Masefield family." Noelle seemed to understand it very well, so he didn't use questions.

I nodded, and the boy moved his body, leaning a little closer.

"The Macefield family used to be a great noble, but the old Garnet royal family was ignorant and even abused the daughter of the Macefield family who married into it. For this reason, they raised their flag, and then other nobles responded and seized it together. The throne.”

It was a textbook answer, but what Veda and I said was another story.

But I don’t want to talk back to Noelle right now.

"So our ancestors set this motto. When my father told me for the first time, I didn't listen to it. Instead, I had to listen because I was scolded. What is the motto of the Shahavier family?"

I remember there was a lion on their family crest. Sylvie wore such a brooch when she first appeared disguised as her brother. A male lion must represent strength.

"Be loyal to the king, be kind to others, and be honest to your friends."

"It's a little different from what I imagined." The image of Duke Shahavier was recalled in his mind, "But Duke Shahavier must abide by this motto. I can see it from the trusting eyes of my father."

"My father always told me that King Kane is a wise monarch. It is precisely because they have similar interests and noble conduct that we can become friends."

"Our fathers knew each other as children and were able to maintain this friendship as adults. Is that because they are similar or different?"

Noelle shrugged, "Who knows, probably both."

Is Noelle looking for me to fulfill her engagement?I didn't dare to ask this question. I couldn't agree to it now. I had deceived him too much and said too many things against my will. He had lost his family and sisters just like me.He didn't show any emotion in this regard in front of me, but wouldn't he still feel all this in front of this flickering flame?He and Sylvie were not very sad when Sestodia fell. It was unclear whether the boy was indifferent or enlightened. Considering his personality, it was undoubtedly the latter.

Because the world has changed, Noelle can no longer care about the safety of his family's territory. Wherever he goes, the people he sees are full of nervous emotions. Sir Taylor of Grand Harbor takes them to Parthia, At that time, the boy also woke up to the same sense of responsibility as me.

The fall of the world is inevitable on the devil's schedule, and I want to stop him.

"The rain is starting to lighten up, I should go back... Noelle, it's getting late."

I stood up and took off his cloak. I had worn it for a long time and it was time for my own coat to dry.Pushing aside the vines in front of the cave, the sky changes from pure black to indigo, and then from indigo to deep blue.Sani should have discovered it after dawn. Xiaowu has been away for a long time, and it may take a moment to walk back.

"Wait..." He called weakly and urgently, holding my shoulders with his hands and pulling the cloak that was about to fall back to my shoulders.

"What's wrong, Noelle?" She didn't understand what he was doing, but the boy just blushed.

"Can you please turn around, or close your eyes..."

"You're thinking……"

"Please, it'll be fine in a moment."

The boy put his hands together and begged, and his eyes from bottom to top made me have to agree to his request.

"Then, no pranks."

"Well, I promise."

The tone was like that of a child who wants to go out to play and begs his mother for permission.
