The demon princess was defeated and captured? Sorry, I acted in it)

"Get out of here...! You stinky bird! Who told you to catch fish?! Do you know there aren't many fish in this lake? You're an alien species invasion, don't you know that?"

With Xuefei's incredible arm strength, the tiny stone created a wave over ten meters high in the water, almost splitting the lake in two and scaring the birds away in all directions.

Xue Fei wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead, put her hands on her hips, and felt that she had matured a lot.

Well, I beat them, not because I held a grudge, but because there were only a limited number of big fish in the lake.

They steal the fish, and every time they steal a fish, my chances of catching a fish plummet, which is not good.

Seeing that there are still water birds who don't know how to live or die, and even want to launch a counterattack against Xue Feiya...

Xuefei prepared to pick up the stone for the second time.

A witch and a group of water birds engaged in a fierce confrontation over a lake of fish.

But this time...

It seems that this stone cannot be thrown away.

“Ahhh…! Ms. Xia! Please spare their lives! They just want to eat fish, they won’t stay here forever!”

"Eating fish is a capital crime!"

"Why?!"

Hearing Livra's voice running from a distance to dissuade her, Xuefei had no choice but to throw away the stone in her hand with a lack of interest.

But the ignorant water bird that flew over actually pecked her head!

"Hey hey...! I have such a bad temper...! Livra, you see, being kind to these guys is being cruel to myself!"

"Ugh... No way, I'll let them go right now."

"what?"

It's rare to see Livra without a dress.

Because Xue Fei usually met her in formal occasions, either at a banquet or at the arena, so she would definitely see her at her most solemn appearance.

This was the first meeting between the two of them, agreed upon privately, as friends rather than as partners.

A simple turquoise skirt, tightened with a finely crafted crystal blue corset, highlights Livra's well-proportioned figure, and the brown boots add a touch of antique charm to her.

While silently giving high marks to Livra's daily outfits, Xuefia was quite curious about how she planned to get these birds to leave.

After all, these birds are still eyeing me and ready to attack!

I saw Livra standing by the lake.

The long ink-black hair blends into the beautiful scenery, like a splash of ink on a landscape scroll.

She faced the lake and raised her hands lightly and naturally.

The water birds that were surrounding Xuefei and waiting for an opportunity to attack suddenly came to Livra and circled around her as if they had heard a call, forming a tornado of white feathers.

Livra looked up and smiled at them, as if she said something, but Xuefei didn't hear anything.

She waved one of her hands toward the lake, and her slender finger pointed in the direction.

The tornado formed by white feathers flew in an orderly manner towards the forest on the other side of the lake.

The birdsong faded away and gradually stopped.

Livra exclaimed softly, lowered her arms, clasped her hands in front of her, looked back, and smiled at Xue Fei.

"Well, Miss Xia, the birds have gone to find new lakes."

"Oh... to harm other big fish... that's fine. No, can you talk to birds?"

"It's not really talking..."

This is not a secret, Livra didn't make it public, but no one cares about her insignificant skill.

"I don't know why, but when I'm calm and quiet, I hear the birds singing, and I seem to understand what they're thinking. I don't understand their language, but I can understand what they mean... Um, sorry, that seems a little hard to understand?"

"It's okay, I understand."

"As expected of Miss Xia Ya!"

Yes, yes, yes, it’s me who didn’t understand what you said, but I still have to say that I understand it.

All I can say is that everyone has their own specialties, and Livra's specialties are rather unique, that's all.

Without the water birds, the big fish that had been submerged in the lake jumped out of the water again. After seeing who was standing by the lake, they dived again and disappeared.

Xuefei sat on a big rock by the lake.

This was not for rest, but for her young but battered waist.

But in Livra's opinion, this posture of sitting down before speaking is very mature and handsome!

"So, what do you want to talk about when you come to see me so early in the morning?"

"Well... um, sorry, Ms. Xia Ya, I'm sorry to bother you... Can I sit here, please?"

"random."

The surface of the big rock was spacious enough for Livra to sit on the other end of the rock.

Her sitting posture is elegant, which is completely different from Xuefei who is still in her pajamas and looks carefree.

There was no silence for long.

Livra withdrew her gaze from the sparkling water and instead directed all the light her eyes caught towards Xuefia who was not far away from her.

"Ms. Xia Ya, I actually...want to express my gratitude to you in person."

"Oh, it's about what happened yesterday, right? Didn't I tell you that it doesn't matter? Helping you put down the rebellion was not my original purpose. It was because those two guys wanted to attack Bellis yesterday, so I evaporated them."

"Well... I am of course very grateful for this, but Ms. Xia Ya, this is not what I want to talk about today."

"Is there anything else?"

"some."

Livra stood up from the stone.

She rummaged through her pockets and took out two black feathers engraved with defensive magic.

That was the amulet Xuefei gave her.

Xuefei raised her eyebrows when she saw her take out the two feathers.

She probably... wanted to thank me for my defensive magic yesterday that helped her block the bombardment of the magic cannon?

result.

When Xuefei looked up and faced Livra's emerald-like eyes.

But I found that the flowing light and shadow contained in it is a purer emotion than "gratitude".

There are no words to describe it, but it is an encounter that transcends time and space and is not limited to the most recent one.

"I just wanted to say...thank you for saving me that year."

"Uh... that year? That year... you're not talking about that incident, are you... what you're talking about now... is it the same thing I'm thinking of?"

"Absolutely, Miss Xia Ya, no... Your Highness Xue Feiya, you have seen me before, when I was a child, right? The kingdom's convoy paraded along the border between the demons and humans, the mudslides on rainy days, and the vicious bandits!"

"..."

I have to say...Livra's memory is pretty good.

If her mother hadn't reminded her, Xuefia would have definitely forgotten about this matter. However, Livra was able to remember it on her own.

In fact, it’s not a problem of memory.

But the same thing...means differently to both parties.

For Xue Feiya, it was just a normal act of helping others when she saw injustice.

But for Livra...

What does that mean?

What it means is something only Livra herself knows.

There was no need to hide it from her, and Xuefei never wanted to be an unsung hero.

So, she nodded.

This nod was an acknowledgement that she was the girl who saved Livra from the bandits.

"Yes, it was me. It's been such a long time and you still remember it...eh?"

My vision suddenly felt dizzy!

By the way, everything went dark before my eyes.

——It seemed as if something comfortable and soft was pressed against my face, and I could even hear my accelerated heartbeat.

And in the last moment when Xuefei's vision was preserved, she seemed to see...

Livra opened her eyes wide, tears welling up in her eyes, and she hugged him almost instinctively!

no...

Do you really need to?

60. Gifts

Think about it, in this life, there are only three things that can overwhelm Xue Fei.

First up is Shia.

Then there are the super big fish that are alive and kicking.

Finally, there is the disappointment of not catching a super big fish.

And now, there is an additional bear hug from Livra!

"Hey...! What are you doing?"

"Found you..."

"what?"

"I finally found you..."

"I'm not playing hide and seek with you."

After complaining quietly, Xuefei tactfully stopped talking.

If you want to press it, just press it. It won’t sink anyway.

after all...

Livra seemed to really cry.

If you think about it carefully...Livra, this lively and optimistic princess, rarely cries.

Apart from the times when she cried tears of joy during the negotiations, which could not really be considered crying, Xuefei had only seen her actually cry twice.

One was the first meeting.

Once is a meeting again.

When we first met, we were surrounded by bandits, the ground was covered with blood, and we were so weak.

When they met again, the wind was blowing the catkins, and the princess of a country was standing on her own.

And this "reunion" should be right now.

She cried in a low voice, looking very pitiful.

But what can be done? As a witch, Xuefei is not a person who is gentle with women.

Xue Feiya suddenly turned over, trying to throw the girl who was on top of her to the other side.

Just press it a little bit. I have a psychological trauma about being pressed down. It's quite uncomfortable.

“Hey…!”

"Eh?"

"..."

Who knew that Livra would hold him like a koala.
