Ruan Mei begged me to go back? I can't go back anymore

The people of Beloberg were talking about it and expressing strong dissatisfaction with the actions of the Great Guardian.

"She clearly said that for the sake of Beloberg's overall interests, we must abandon the lower areas and transfer the Silver Mane Iron Guards back from the lower areas to concentrate our forces on attacking the Rift Realm!"

"But what's the result? Our loved ones and sons died one by one on the front lines, and all they got in return was a broken medal like this!"

"Now that her daughter is missing, she doesn't care about the overall situation anymore, and she doesn't want to be on the front line anymore!"

"She actually called back the Silver Mane Guard to look for her daughter!"

"Why, her daughter is a human being, but our child is not a human being!"

"Be careful with your words, this is a topic that cannot be touched upon!"

"Bah! Anyway, I've lived enough. My old friends and relatives are in the lower districts, their lives are uncertain, and my son died on the front line. If you have the guts, just kill me!"

"..."

Maybe this discussion won't change anything.

Cocolia still holds the highest power in Beloberg.

But over time, when people's resentment accumulates to a certain level.

That's the moment when the building collapses and then is rebuilt on the ruins!

[Cocolia... Cocolia...]

That strange and obscure voice sounded in Cocolia's mind again.

A long time has passed since it promised to revive Bronya in the rift and let Cocolia reunite with her.

If it still says this, then there is no need to waste time.

Cocolia would never be brainwashed by the Star Core.

She was just trying all kinds of medical treatments out of desperation.

Whether it's for Belloberg or for her daughter.

That's why she chose to become a puppet of the star core to help it accelerate the destruction of Yalilo.

【Dry your tears, Cocolia.】

【Then turn around.】

[I said... I will give you everything you want. ]

[Turn back, Cocolia, turn back...]

"Da da da……"

Along with the sound of the star core came the sound of high boots stepping on the ground, which was very familiar to Cocolia.

The decadent blonde woman suddenly raised her head from the table and widened her purple eyes filled with tears.

She couldn't believe it.

But she could no longer bear the erosion of despair!

She is always so weak!

So no matter what ending the star core brings her, she can accept it!

"Bronya! Is that you?"

"Really... is it you?"

There was a tearful tone in Cocolia's words, and she looked back with a fragile look.

——"Of course, mother, of course it's me."

——"I am yours, Bronya~"

108: If you and I work together, we can definitely control the morning fog! (3k)

In the dark Klippe Castle, the pale orange lights flickered.

It was reflected on the face of the visitor, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the peaceful smile on the corner of her lips.

Elegant, graceful and flawless.

The girl's slender legs stepped across the marble floor and the gorgeous green plaid carpet.

Finally, he came to the high platform where the Great Guardian handled daily government affairs, and under the gaze of Cocolia's trembling eyes with tears in her eyes, he gently called out the sacred title.

"Mother~"

That was a girl who looked exactly like Bronya.

The same silver hair and silver eyes, the same silver-maned Iron Guard costume with black tights, long boots, and the Iron Guard medal that symbolizes glory.

and the classic Roman roll.

But Bronya doesn't actually often call Cocolia her mother.

This becomes more true as you grow older.

That was because she was strictly required to be the heir and the leader of the Silver Mane Guard.

She must be better than most people, or even the best, to dispel the doubts of the people of Beloberg about her.

Only then could they dispel their doubts about Cocolia.

So Bronya gradually got used to calling Cocolia "Great Guardian" according to her position.

Even when calling her "mother", it is often done with deep respect.

Unlike the girl at this moment, her tone was full of intimacy, like a false sweet element.

Perhaps Cocolia could also sense that slight sense of disharmony and doubt.

But for a mother who thought she had lost her daughter, she felt extremely sad.

Could anything be more exciting than her daughter reappearing in front of her and calling her mother sweetly?

If she pursued the so-called "disharmony", it would be tantamount to actively pushing away her own redemption.

"Bronya, my daughter!"

Cocolia suddenly stood up from her desk and called out in a moving tone.

"I thought...I thought I was going to lose you!"

"I'm sorry, mother, your daughter made you worry."

"No, that's not important. What's important is where did you go and what happened?"

“You haven’t been bullied, have you?”

Cocolia raised her hand to cover her chest which was heaving due to the violent beating, and asked nervously.

But Bronya's expression suddenly dimmed, and her eyes seemed to have lost their luster.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Cocolia instantly thought of something bad, her pupils shrank sharply, and her heart shook violently.

And Bronya's subsequent answer further proved her terrible guess.

"...I was taken to the lower area by the underground fire thieves."

"And in the lower district..."

It seemed that the memories related to the lower district made Bronya extremely painful.

Therefore, her bloodless, pale lips stammered, and she was ultimately unable to utter any further words.

When Cocolia saw this, she felt her head was overwhelmed by a surge of blood.

Her body was also shaking, but fortunately she was supported by the desk in front of her, so she did not fall down.

"No... No! How could... How dare you!"

"This bunch of untouchables, their crimes are unforgivable!"

"I will make them pay with blood. I will make them live a life worse than death...!"

Cocolia rarely broke her dignified and noble appearance, and she cursed and vented her heartache like a knife.

She couldn't even imagine the treatment Bronya had endured.

The girl is the eldest daughter of a noble family of the Castle Builders.

As the senior commander of the Silvermane Guard.

More importantly, she is the daughter of the great guardian!

This is her greatest original sin, and the reason why the thousands of people in the lower class who were abandoned by Cocolia will never let her go!

It’s all my fault!

That’s why my daughter suffered such inhuman treatment!

Bronya walked quickly forward, climbed the stairs, came to her mother Cocolia's side, and took the initiative to support her body which was still trembling slightly due to anger.

"It's okay, Mother!"

"It doesn't matter what happens to me..."

"Isn't it our ideal of creating a beautiful new world that is truly important?"

"Bronya!? How could you…"

Cocolia's tone was full of surprise, even though she had thought about letting Bronya touch the star core, meet the great will, and know the truth about the fate and history of this planet.

I also hope that she can understand me and stand by me to help me.

But Bronya in the past was obviously too stubborn and pedantic.

Cocolia didn't dare let her thoughts be known to her, for fear that she would join the Silver Mane Guards in rebelling against her.

However, now, Bronya told her in person the secret that she had hidden for so many years.

What is this...

"Don't worry, mother. I'm on your side!"

Bronya explained immediately.

"It was the Star Core that saved me. When I was in the lower area, I was bullied by the thieves of the Earth Fire, and they wanted to take me to the execution ground to be punished!"

"I thought there was no way I could be saved, that I was destined to be reduced to ashes in the raging fire."

"But at that moment, the 'Silver Mane Iron Guard Phantom' in the Rift rushed out. They still have memories! They still have the memory of being loyal to you, the Great Guardian!"

"They saved me, so I took advantage of the chaos to escape into the Rift Realm!"

"It was there that I, like you, mother, ..."

"I heard the voice of the star core."

"I finally understood my mother's good intentions and the loneliness of not being understood by the world."

"But it's okay, Mother..."

"I'm back, your daughter, Bronya is back!"

"I will stand firmly beside you and work with you to realize our ideal of creating a beautiful new world."

Every word of Bronya's words pierced Cocolia's heart.

Could this be considered... a blessing in disguise?

A disappearance incident not only repaired the mother-daughter relationship that was originally torn apart by the early fog, but also extended a deeper sense of identity.

"Can you...really hear me?"

"of course."

Bronya gave a mysterious smile and looked behind Cocolia.

That ancient and obscure voice sounded again.

【How is it, did I fulfill my promise? 】

【Reunite you with your daughter? 】
