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

In the room, Reinhardt came to the window alone and looked up at the night sky, unable to help but sigh:

"Ah, it's so quiet, it's such a beautiful night."

The clear moonlight shone into the house through the window. The breeze from outside the window blew over his whole body. He could smell the fragrance of grass in the air following the wind.

He just stood there, letting the quiet moonlight fall on him. The silver wine glass that was shaking slightly in his hand reflected the shining full moon and the bright stars clustered around it.

So elegant.

I don’t know when he developed this habit, but when he is bored, he always wants to look at the sky, especially the night sky.

I used to hate the night and places without light.

After all, when walking in the dark, you always have to be careful of your surroundings and beware of the murderous intentions lurking under the cover of darkness.

"You're here."

Reinhardt suddenly said this while looking up at the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, a few light blue light particles appeared out of thin air in the room and slowly gathered together. Melina's figure quietly appeared in the dim room and walked lightly to his side.

"Want a drink?"

He held out the glass in his hand, but Melina had no intention of taking it.

"How boring..."

Since the little log didn't want to drink, he didn't force it.

It’s a pity that only he can enjoy this good wine.

"...Rhine, is there something you want me to help you with?"

"Do I have to come to you only when I have something to do?"

He glanced at the little piece of wood playfully and couldn't help but make a few teasing remarks, but when he met Melina's eyes, he immediately lost interest.

That look was as if even the falling sky couldn't cause any emotional fluctuations in this little piece of wood.

"Forget it. I called you here this time to tell you that we're going to leave tonight."

"Set off?"

"Ah, yes."

He picked up the glass, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

The taste of the wine spread in his mouth. Reinhardt put down the glass while feeling the mellow aroma of the Roya fruit wine.

But Melina tilted her head slightly, in millimeters, to express her confusion and surprise.

She thought Reinhardt would stay in the academy for a long time this time.

After all, the matter of [Full Moon Queen] Lenara has not been completely resolved, and there are still many things to do in the academy.

"Actually, I stayed there for quite a while..."

He seemed to see the confusion in Melina's heart and explained, "Teacher Seren can help me with matters concerning the academy, and as for Queen Lenarra's affairs... I have Lani, so I'll be able to handle them. As for the rest, there's nothing else to worry about."

Simply put, he is a hands-off boss.

He is only responsible for fighting on the front line and solving problems that cannot be solved. Logistics are not his business.

"...What about the god-man Michaela? He's also a demigod, and he possesses..."

Before Melina could finish, he interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "Ah, if you are talking about that, then don't worry. Michaela has already handed the Great Rune to me."

"So now that I've done everything I can, it's time for us to get going."

"...I see. Shall we set off now?"

"No, before we leave, there's something I want you to help me with, Melina. Please help me see if I can convert Rune."

"...Yeah, I see... huh?"

Melina nodded without hesitation, but then she realized what was happening, her eyes revealing a hint of disbelief.

He was the one who told me when we first met that it was impossible to perform rune transformation, so why is he bringing it up again now?

Reinhardt is also well aware of this, but there has been a small problem recently.

Recently, he found that the runes he collected no longer increased his power as much as before, but instead had no effect at all, like a drop in the ocean.

So, he wanted Melina to help see if there was something wrong, or if rune was accumulated in some corner of his body?

Let Melina mobilize them and integrate them into her body.

Although the mosquito legs are small, they are still flesh. In order to prevent Mongget from making any unexpected moves, he must be fully prepared.

"...Okay, I understand."

After looking at him for a long time, Melina seemed to feel his will and nodded slightly.

She had no intention of asking further questions. If Reinhardt so desired, she would fulfill his wish.

Following the meaning of her existence, Melina slowly stretched out a white but scarred little hand towards him from under her robe.

"...Then please let me touch you, just for a moment..."

Following Melina's request, he reached out and held the other's soft little hand tightly. It was as delicate and warm as jade, making people unable to let go.

However, the hideous centipede-like scar on the back of the hand ruined this perfection, which made people feel sorry for it.

At the same time, Melina's soft whisper echoed in my ears: "Come, tell me -

Let me listen to your heart."

"Your will, your desire, and the principles in your heart."

As familiar words rang out, he followed the guidance, slowly closed his eyes, and immersed himself deep in his heart.

Seeing that he had sunk into his inner thoughts, Melina slowly closed her eyes.

However, Reinhardt's heart made her feel very surprised.

Obviously, last time he only felt the existence of the solar law, but this time his heart and soul had become extremely hot, emitting light and heat, like a fireball.

In the center of the fireball, several fragments of magic rings floated there, being tempered by the raging fire that seemed to be able to burn everything, and even showed signs of gathering together.

And in the center of the fragment, there was a complete centipede scar.

It was a complete mark of death.

"The power of the Golden Rule..."

At this moment, an ethereal and quiet sound echoed in their ears.

They subconsciously opened their eyes and saw a tall woman appear beside them.

At some point, Lenara appeared beside them, but this time she didn't hug Reinhardt as intimately as before. Instead, she looked down at Melina.

This perspective made Melina feel a little oppressive when she looked up.

Although he is not a demigod, a deity, or even a god, the oppression he feels is even stronger than that of a god.

The majestic gaze in his azure eyes and the calm expression that was intimidating without even being angry also caused a stir and a bit of pressure in Melina's heart for the first time.

very scary.

The woman in front of him, the [Full Moon Queen] Reinara, who was once the leader of the Kalia Royal Family and the Rhealucalia Magic Academy, is very terrifying.

Seeing this scene, Reinhardt seemed to understand why Lani always liked to sit on a high place and look down on others.

It turns out that I learned this from Lenara.

Because he was not as tall as Lenara, he chose to sit on a high place to show the majesty of his four books.

Little do they know that doing so not only fails to show majesty, but makes them even more adorable.

"No, now is not the time to think about this!"

He, who was stroking his chin in deep thought, immediately reacted and stepped in between the two to change the subject: "Then... then why are you here?"

He didn't know how to address Lenara. Calling her mom wasn't right, nor was calling her mother-in-law. But now he felt that the aura emanating from Lenara was not good, so he had no choice but to go ahead with it.

However, as soon as he spoke like this, the solemnity in the air disappeared instantly.

Lenara's gaze shifted slightly, slowly resting on him, and the majesty in her eyes disappeared, replaced by deep love.

"My child, do you also want to be the King of Elden?"

Her red lips parted slightly, and a pleasant and soft sound came out, but it was also filled with a hint of resentment.

Furthermore, Lenara's attire today was also different from usual.

She was still wearing the loose magician's robe to cover her graceful figure, but this time she was not wearing the strange crescent-shaped hair crown. Her long black hair like a waterfall was casually spread around her waist, adding a touch of gentleness.

Still a decent car.

Her expression was no longer as gloomy and dull as before. Nobility and wisdom seemed to be tailor-made for her, and she once again returned to the elegant embodiment of the night.

As for why her hair was loose and flowing, it was just a casual remark of his, but unexpectedly, Lenara actually listened to it and changed her hairstyle to this style the next day.

It really makes me not know what to say. This is not love or pampering at all, it is outright doting.

Even Lani felt a little jealous of this doting.

I guess if he made any excessive request, the woman in front of him would probably not refuse.

"Do you also want to be the King of Elden, my child..." Lenara thought he didn't hear clearly and asked again.

This time, Reinhardt finally responded, shaking his head and saying, "No."

"I'm not interested in becoming the King of Elden. The reason I obtained so many Ring fragments is just a coincidence. What I want to do is not to restore the Golden Dynasty and let the Golden Law continue to rule the Borderland. This is also what [Eternal Queen] Marika hopes for."

He didn't know how many times he had said these words, but they were truly his true feelings.

Those magic ring fragments were indeed obtained by chance.

The first piece belonged to Godwin, and he had to deal with it because Greg was inactive and destroyed the border area, which blocked his way.

The second piece of Monger's was obtained from Feiya.

The third piece of Latarn, a reward for winning the battle festival.

The fourth piece belongs to Malenia, and was given to Malenia after she destroyed the Scarlet Corruption God and healed her.

The fifth piece belonged to Michaela, and was also given to her after she cured Malenia of her chronic illness.

The sixth piece of Lacade was obtained because of Lani's request.

The seventh Great Rune, for those who were not destined to be born, was given to him by Teacher Serlian after he peeled it off from the amber egg.

From this perspective, except for Greg, who was obtained actively, the others were obtained passively.

Therefore, he really had no intention of becoming the King of Elden. Instead of becoming that puppet king, it would be better to live freely.

It's just that life and strength don't allow it...

However, when Lenara heard Marika's name, her brows slightly furrowed, and her breath became a little confused.

When he looked at Melina, his eyes became even more unfriendly.

It seems that Radagan's act of abandoning his wife and daughter is still a shadow in her heart.

Since the aura emanating from Melina was also full of gold, it also disgusted Lenara.

After all, the Golden Rule had not only robbed her of her husband, but also her children.

But logically speaking, Radagon is Marika, Marika's other half, which means that Lenara has three children with Marika.

But how should he say this?

I can't even put it into words, okay?!

Can you still say - "Lady Lenara, in fact, your husband Radagon is the [Eternal Queen] Marika"?

I guess by then Lenara would start to doubt her life again and become autistic.

Under the attack of Lena's eyes, Melina was finally forced to slowly disappear, turning into particles of light and merging into Reinhardt's body.

This was the first time in her life that she had felt such a hostile gaze.

After Melina left, Lenara's emotions gradually calmed down, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him gradually returned to its usual gentleness.

"My child, I understand everything you say and do. But you must remember one thing—" Suddenly, Reinara's attitude became serious, and she said solemnly, "That woman, Marika, cannot be trusted."

This made him curious. Marika had never personally met Lenara, so where did this come from?
