People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

However, when Reinhardt reacted, Tolina's figure had disappeared, turning into golden glow and dissipating in the air.

Just as she appeared, she left silently, like a dream.

Only a graceful lavender water lily was left in its place, but this water lily gradually withered under his gaze.

From this we can see that Michaela was not lying, his laws were indeed weakening, and now even such a small water lily was almost unable to be maintained.

but...

"This guy planned all of this, right? He's been planning everything since the Shattering War a thousand years ago, right?"

Reinhardt couldn't help but complain quietly.

Thousands of years ago, Michaela was dug out from the sacred tree by the [Blood King] Monger, and then he arrived at the Blood Boudoir to rescue Michaela and proposed the deal again.

He clearly remembered the terms of the deal—

Michaela and her sister Malenia belonged to him.

I'm afraid that at that time... no, even earlier, this god had already set his sights on him and had thought of this escape route, right?

He truly is the god-like person closest to that woman, meticulous and calculating.

The main feature is a seamless connection.

But I feel... strangely unhappy.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the naked Malenia, but after pausing for a few seconds, he retracted his gaze.

"Forget it, let's talk about the interest later."

While muttering to himself, he carried up the unconscious Malenia. His posture was very casual and he did not intend to cover her. He just picked her up naked and carried her on his shoulders as if she were a trophy.

"Okay, can we go now....Millicent?"

Turning around, I found Millicent sitting there in a daze with her head down for some reason, as if she was thinking about something.

"Hey~ Miss Millicent, come back to your senses. We should leave."

He waved his hand in front of Millicent, bringing her wandering consciousness back.

"Huh? Um, sorry... I got distracted."

Millicent came to her senses and apologized, but she was still a little dazed.

I guess the CPU is burned out?

It's no wonder. After all, after hearing so many secrets, it's normal that his mind is confused for a while.

And seeing a loli goddess throwing herself into the arms of a knight, it's a good thing that my world view hasn't been destroyed.

So he didn't care much. As a pioneer, he carried the naked Malenia on one hand and the Moonlight Greatsword in the other hand as he headed towards the upper level.

However, what he didn't notice was that Millicent's eyes were always on him, watching his back, the look in her eyes was indescribably complicated, but also revealed a hint of determination.

Unbeknownst to Reinhardt, Millicent's trance wasn't caused by Torina's surrender, but rather by the realization that she was facing too many opponents...

She no longer knows how to repay the life-saving grace.

However, I am satisfied as long as I can be by his side.

-------------------------------------

"My dear sister—

Take my last abundance, my last dewdrop.

Whether beautiful or ugly──

May everything grow and thrive according to its original form."

After an unknown amount of time, Malenia woke up from her sleep and suddenly opened her eyes. There was a trace of confusion in her pure golden eyes.

In her dream, she seemed to hear her brother's voice, and the gentle and warm touch made her feel as if she was back in her brother's arms.

"elder brother...."

Marennia murmured reluctantly, but soon she discovered something.

What rushed into my nostrils was not the familiar freshness of trees, but instead a high roof and a soft little bed.

Where are you?

A strange ceiling, a strange room...

He turned his head and slowly scanned the room, noticing an oil painting of a golden tree hanging on one side of the wall, as well as portraits of himself and his brother Michaela.

This seemed to be the room she hadn't returned to for a long time.

"...Is it Albion?"

wrong....

A look of astonishment gradually emerged on Marennia's face. She touched her cheek tremblingly and found that the mottled scars on her face that had been eroded by scarlet corruption had disappeared, and her eyes had returned to normal.

I clearly remember that I had already lost my sight...

Not only that, she also found that her arms and legs seemed to have recovered.

Even the scarlet corruption in the body seemed to have disappeared completely.

"How can this be?"

Marennia was a little bit incredulous and slowly sat up from the bed. The sheet slipped off her body quietly, and her snow-white skin was exposed to the air, emitting a faint halo.

The long bright red hair slowly fell along the shoulders to the chest, just covering the towering snow peaks and a sparse shadow on the high ridge.

But she didn't care. Instead, she slowly turned her head and looked out the window. The warm glow of the golden tree, accompanied by the sound of waves coming from the distant sea level, came towards her face. The cool sea breeze blew her fiery red hair from time to time.

What came into view was such a beautiful scene, but what appeared in her eyes was an incredible look.

Is this a dream?

"Hey, you're awake."

Just then, the door was pushed open and Reinhardt slowly walked in from outside.

Marennia's expression immediately turned serious.

Unlike before, Reinhardt was now wearing aristocratic attire, not the uniform of the Knight of Kalia. He didn't even carry the sword wrapped in the cold aura of the Dark Moon that he used when fighting against him.

"I didn't expect you to wake up after just a few hours of sleep. That's pretty quick. You're worthy of being a Valkyrie."

Faced with Marennia's solemn expression, Reinhardt didn't care at all. He pulled out a chair from the table and sat there. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it quietly.

As expected, the demigod physique with Marika's blood flowing in his veins is very strong.

Anyone else would have to lie down for ten days or half a month, but Marennia woke up completely in just a few hours.

"Mmm, it's smooth and tastes good, comparable to my favorite..."

After taking a sip of the tea, my eyes suddenly brightened up and I couldn't help but exclaim.

If only Ariana were here, she would definitely be able to make this tea taste better.

After tasting the hot tea, he put down the cup and looked at Marenia sitting on the bed and asked with concern:

"Hey, Miss Marenia, how are you feeling?"

"..."

No response, or rather, no one bothered to pay attention to him.

"Tsk, don't ignore me. I saved you, and it's fine if you didn't even say thank you, but now you ignore me when I ask you a question? How rude."

"..."

No matter how he complained, Marennia ignored him. She moved slightly and leaned against the headboard, silently gazing at the distant scenery outside the window.

It was as if he wanted to see the scenery that he had not seen for thousands of years in one breath, and as if he was afraid that he would go blind again in the next second.

Seeing this, Reinhardt just smiled silently.

Since the other party didn't want to talk, he didn't force him. He poured himself another cup of tea and drank it silently.

Maybe it was a long time, maybe just a moment, but Malenia finally had a voice.

"...You, why don't you kill me?"

The voice was still calm and composed, but one could hear the doubt in it.

Based on her understanding of beings like the Faded One, if she had the chance, she should definitely kill her and then seize the fragment of the Ring.

It should be the same even if the other party is Reinhardt, who was once his ally, then betrayed him for some purpose, and now comes to see him with his clone.

Obviously, this man is so despicable and mean.

But... all the other party did was to defeat her, and even helped her to clear out the scarlet corrupt power that resided in her eyes. He didn't even have the intention of taking the fragments of the magic ring, which made her feel very puzzled.

If she was not mistaken, there were already four fragments on his body.

Furthermore, she had been controlled by the scarlet corruption surging within her body, transforming into a half-scarlet goddess of corruption and becoming one of the enemies of the Golden Law. She had originally thought that she had reached the end of her road...

"Well, it's simple. Your brother, Mikaela, made a deal with me. It was for me to rescue you from the abyss of scarlet corruption."

"...elder brother?"

Hearing Michaela's name, Malenia turned her head slightly, as if looking at him.

After staring for a long time, he turned his head back and said calmly: "Impossible."

Reinhardt: “???”

This answer made him slowly type a few question marks.

"You don't even know the details, and you say it's impossible?"

"..."

Marennia was silent for a moment, then spoke again in a low voice, "Although my brother Michaela is very optimistic about you and has high praise for you, he will definitely not trade with you."

This time, Malenia rarely insulted him. Instead, she turned her head and continued to look out the window, gazing at the sea level in the distance.

"...Reinhardt, you are a knight of Kalia, serving one of the gods, the Moon Princess Renee. My brother, Michaela, is also a god, and a rival of Renee. Therefore, I do not believe my brother would make any deal with you, a knight of Renee."

"Even my brother has no interest in succeeding our mother, Everqueen Marica."

At this point, her voice suddenly paused, "...My friend, I am grateful that you are able to help Millicent. You are also a great warrior, different from other Faded Ones, and I admire you very much.

But you, who have already seized four Great Runes, should have met [Star Crusher General] Latarn, and you joined me in the invasion of Gaelid a thousand years ago. You must be aware of my entanglement with the Kalia royal family, right? "

"If it weren't for Latarn's obstruction, my brother Michaela would have returned long ago."

Although the voice remained calm, anyone could hear the anger and sadness in it.

Michaela's disappearance was a huge blow to her.

She also regretted why she left her brother at the Holy Tree and went to attack the Royal City of Rodel by herself.

If the castle of Rodel had not been attacked, my brother would not have been taken away, and even the knights who served him would not have been killed.

But there is no if.

"So, please stop using Michaela's name to deceive me."

"This is the final warning."

Marennia's face was full of seriousness and solemnity; she was not joking.

But after listening, Reinhardt suddenly chuckled, which caught the attention of Marlenya, and she looked at him, waiting for him to explain his sneer.

"Sorry sorry."

Seeing what Marenya did, he waved his hand casually.

"Actually, I think there are a lot of misunderstandings here, like the one about Michaela being taken away."

"Misunderstanding? I don't think there is any misunderstanding."

Marennia stared at him and said quietly, "My brother and I are twins, and we are connected by blood. I can sense where my brother is."

"At that time, I clearly felt my brother's presence in Galid. What kind of misunderstanding could there be?"

Hearing what Marennia said, he was even happier. He suppressed his laughter and explained, "That's the misunderstanding."

"I can assure you that your brother Michaela was not kidnapped by Latarn, but by [Blessed King] Munggot's brother, [Blood King] Mung."

"Mungat, Mung?"
