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

But she didn't say anything.

Her determined look and the words she spoke were meant to help her regain the possibility of a future.

So why do you think the elder sister is the elder sister? It’s because she never lets down her team at critical moments!

It's hard to tell whether Bellis's smile was miserable or happy.

I can only say that, wiping tears with the back of his hand, he is usually a majestic and calm demon.

The second princess of the clan, at this moment, is like a little child looking for her sister everywhere, so fragile, yet so tough.

"Sister Wang, why are you thinking like this at this moment? Shouldn't you say that I'm hopeless and then hug me and comfort me...?"

"Huh? Who taught you to give up when you encounter a little trouble? Didn't I tell you that there is no big fish that cannot be caught in this world? Don't you see that there are so many books in this forbidden library? There must be a way to restrain the cost of the curse, right? Even if there is no book in the forbidden library..."

Xue Feiya's wings naturally spread out as her emotions grew.

The soft light from the eight wings covered Bellis's face. The proud smile of Sister Wang as she squatted in front of her was like the scorching sun that melted the glaciers.

As long as she is there.

Bellis will never know what it means to be afraid.

"Even if it's not in the forbidden library, the world is big enough. There is a cause and an effect, and there is an antidote for poison. If the demon leader doesn't have it, then go look for it outside. I don't believe that there is no solution. If the ancients could tie the buttons, why can't I untie them?"

"Sister Wang...you are so beautiful..."

"what?"

"nothing."

Bellis exhaled a breath of hot air, stood up with a mixture of tears and laughter, and her height suddenly surpassed Xuefiya. Xuefiya hugged her arms in front of her body and had to slightly raise her head to look at this half-grown loli sister.

I was feeling a little unhappy about this, and Bellis happened to mention this matter.

"Sister Wang is right... It's too early to give up now. Anyway, I'm not the only one who likes to mess around, right? Isn't Sister Wang the same?"

"What happened to me?"

"The price. Didn't Sister Wang also pay a price to save me back then?"

"You found out about this too...! Tsk, where are you looking at? How rude!"

"Sorry, sorry~ I couldn't help myself."

Of course, Bellis's gaze was directed at the pitiful little thing on Sister Wang's chest that was barely moving.

There is bitterness in the usual gaze.

But now, in addition to the bitterness, there is another emotion called gratitude.

"I only found out why Sister Wang has always been so small after I recovered my memory... In order to save me, Sister Wang transferred the curse to herself. The cursed fire cannot burn Sister Wang, but it keeps you in this size forever."

"Don't talk about such sad things. I really want to jump up and hit you on the head. Hey...!"

Xue Feiya took a few steps back before she could steady herself and barely managed to avoid being knocked down.

Without saying a word, Bellis hugged her again with such force that she almost knocked her small body to the ground.

You are just a half-grown loli who is a head taller than me... No one is better developed than the other!

Thinking that Bellis was under some psychological pressure, feeling the trembling of her arms as she hugged her, Xuefia said these words in the most natural and teasing tone.

"Well... don't think too much. You were already so old when I saved you. I could only grow one centimeter a year at that time. My mother had long said that I was hopeless, so this curse might be in vain for me. Oh, that's enough! Don't cry. Your sister Wang is not that short of a few centimeters!"

"Sister Wang, you...always talk like this...you didn't even plan to tell me about the curse. If I don't investigate...you're just going to keep silent, right?"

"Uh...because it's not necessary?"

"would not."

Sister Wang said she would help me find a way to lift the curse, so I also want to help Sister Wang.

Maybe it's just like what Sister Wang said, even if the curse is lifted, your height won't change much, but these are two different things.

Bellis understood immediately now.

When a curse is upon yourself, it doesn’t matter. Just accept it and go on with your life as usual.

But when the curse is on the person you love the most.

No matter how small the problem is, I want to help you solve it.

No wonder Sister Wang’s conclusion just now was so decisive. If it were me... I would have the same idea.

--stop.

Coincidently.

Bellis stopped her magic power from growing, and Xuefia stopped her body from growing.

Time played a little joke on this pair of sisters, but they never compromised with time.

go ahead.

The relationship between the two has transcended the curse of indifference, and to this day, has never stopped, but is always moving forward.

The evidence is...

Originally I couldn't see you and you couldn't catch me.

But now we are hugging each other like this, no one hates each other, but instead we are full of joy!

——Crash!!

"Ok?"

Being hugged by Bellis, Xuefia seemed to see flashes of light in her peripheral vision.

When her little face rubbed against Bellis's silver hair and tilted her head, the grand beauty in her vision made even Xue Fei stunned for a moment.

garden.

The grotto at the bottom of the lake was suddenly filled with flowers.

There was no need for the lighting magic that had been activated before. The flowers in the garden each emitted a soft, colorful light, illuminating the space.

Even if you look closely, every flower here looks like the boundless flower field outside the Demon King's Castle, where Xuefia and Bellis ran hand in hand when they were children, leaving behind memories.

What a nostalgic scene...

“Make it concrete.”

"It's magic? Bellis, do you know?"

"Well... that book is about [materialization], which temporarily turns the environment desired by the caster into reality. The flower fields here can't last too long, but... every flower is real. Maybe... there is also the flower that Bellis gave to the king sister when she was a child."

"Yeah..."

Xue Feiya could see that among the books scattered on the ground, there was one that was open and emitting a faint light from magic.

Ancient magic is not all about danger and gamble.

There is also such a romantic, warm and safe existence.

It seems that Bellis had translated this beautiful magic in advance.

Compared to the [Origin] that she had previously devoted herself to studying, perhaps she was most longing for such a flower field.

But when did this magic start?

Hugging Xuefia's body tightly, almost holding her into her body, Bellis responded in a gentle tone.

"The condition for this magic to be activated is tears. When Sister Wang cried just now, her tears fell on the book, and the magic was activated, right?"

"How clever." Xue Feiya was also in a good mood, but she still wanted to expose the dishonesty in Bellis' words, "Tears are just a medium. This kind of magic requires imagination, so this flower field is the scene you often recall in your mind, and you still don't admit it~"

"It's not that I don't admit it, but I haven't finished speaking yet, okay?"

"?!"

Flowers are flying all over the sky.

That's because Bellis didn't use brute force, but instead leaned forward naturally, pressing Xuefei down into the flower bed, with petals flying all over the sky.

In this way, Xuefeiya saw Bellis' eyes.

It was sparkling, reflecting the flowers, but the flowers stayed in the corner, and in the pupils in the middle, there was only Xue Feiya herself.

At such a close distance, every beat of Belles' heart was conveyed to Xuefei.

And the tone of her voice, the blush on her cheeks, the hot breath.

Even Xue Feiya heard such charm for the first time.

And it was the first time for Bellis to feel such uncontrollable emotions.

Sister Wang...Sister Wang...Belis likes you so much...

"Sister Wang, please stop treating Bellis like a child... Bellis has grown up... Is there anything you can't admit? This flower field is the embodiment of my hope in my mind! I like Sister Wang... I like every step that Sister Wang has taken with me."

"Be...Belys?"

"I wanted to pounce on Sister Wang when I was a kid! I've been holding it in for so long!!"

“You said it out loud! You! You said it out loud! I’ve been telling you that something is wrong since I was a kid, but you…! Um…?!”

Sister Wang, you don’t have to say anything more.

Bellis' lips, unable to bear it any longer, pressed down to match Xuefia's lips.

Usually, Xuefia would kick Bellis away.

But this time...although there was surprise in her eyes, it was soon overwhelmed by tenderness and resignation.

The two short legs stretched out, and did not try to stop Belles's little hands from wandering around disobediently.

Sister Wang...I know that this time, you finally acknowledged Bellis's willfulness.

Because the magic that materializes this flower field...is not something that can be activated by my imagination alone.

We thought of this flower garden at the same time.

We also recall the precious past.

We gaze together at the future that is within our reach.

"Sister Wang... huh..."

"Um... what... what are you doing..."

"The laces on your skirt... are the birthday presents I gave you before... Sister Wang still has them?"

"Is it not possible..."

"Belis is very happy...but...we don't need it for the time being, okay? I might accidentally break it later...it's okay...I'll send Sister Wang a new one!"

"!"

25. Back!

Late at night.

Two bright moons of different colors hang high in the sky, covering every working person with a dream-colored quilt as they fall asleep peacefully.

Even the big fish that had been frightened for the entire afternoon dived to the bottom of the lake and fell asleep.

But even on the most peaceful night, there is always an impatient mind driving people to pace back and forth.

In the Devil's Castle, in a closed and deep corridor, a big golden-haired ball was taking increasingly impatient steps, trying to disturb the depth of the night.

Fortunately, the Demon King's Castle is spacious enough. Only the Demon King and the Queen live on the top floor, and there are no neighbors below.

Otherwise, Xia's pace, which was almost leaving an afterimage, would be enough to make the people downstairs collapse and scream.

Just look at the situation now.

The first one to collapse could only be this big golden-haired guy who kept muttering to himself.

"You haven't come back yet... Why haven't you come back yet... Xuefei... Where are you... Should I go to look for you... No... I shouldn't go to look for you in this situation... But... But if I don't look for you... But but...!"

"Ah? Lord Shialet? What are you doing up late at night?"

"!"

When people are impatient and panic, even the calmest and most cute voice may cause a conditioned reflex like their hair standing on end.

The blade of the holy sword flashed, and immediately took away a few strands of black hair in front of Livra's forehead, and the full sword light stagnated in front of her.
