"She came here on her own, saying she wanted to check on the situation."

"Isn't it inconvenient for her to come out now?"

"Yeah, I've advised her, but she still seems to care about the situation here and is quite worried... wuwu..."

"Shut up!"

Lani gritted her teeth.

Then he raised his head, his face returning to its usual calm expression, one hand covering Lord's mouth, and spoke calmly as if nothing had happened.

"I'm just here to check the movement of the stars and gather some information from Gallid."

Latarn blinked, a little confused.

"But the best place for stargazing is Lienia, right? And isn't Blaze here? Ask her to tell you about Galide later... wuwu..."

Latarn's mouth was also covered.

"Ms. Lani."

The red-haired horse girl nodded slightly.

"Due to long-term exposure to the Crimson Corruption, General Latan's consciousness has been severely damaged. He is currently unable to communicate. If there is anything, I can communicate on his behalf. General Latan, this is not a problem for you, is it?"

As she spoke, the red-haired horse girl looked at Latarn, who immediately made a gesture that said, "I don't mind."

Seeing this scene, Lani was slightly stunned, then looked at the red-haired horse girl with a frown.

Where did this woman come from?

Lani had some understanding of her brother's temper.

Although Latan usually acts a little silly, that's just a little bit. He is still reliable at critical moments and formal occasions.

In particular, although he would listen to advice, he also had his own opinions and would never allow himself to be dominated by others.

But now, this woman not only sat on Latan's shoulders, but even just stretched out her hand and made Latan shut his mouth.

This was inconsistent with what Lani knew about him, and she had never seen or even heard of this red-haired woman with horse ears before... Huh?

Lani was suddenly stunned.

Wait? Horse ears?

There is also this familiar feeling, could she...

"It's me, Miss Lani."

The red-haired horsegirl nodded slightly.

"We've met before, but at that time, I was still serving as the general's mount—and you even fed me carrots."

"...Are you that pony?"

"Yes."

After seeing the other party nod, Lani's mind froze.

The impact of this thing on her was even greater than when Latan was tortured by Lord.

After all, if there is no destined death, then after the battle ceremony, Latan is not truly dead. He just unsealed the stars after his physical body was destroyed.

With this premise, coupled with Lord's miraculous soul manipulation technology, although she was surprised that he could bring the other party back to life, it was not unacceptable.

But this pony...

You know, that's Latarn's horse!

Perhaps to outsiders, the relationship between Latarn and his pony is a beautiful story.

But because they were family, Lani realized how much abstraction was hidden in this matter.

"Just spend the rest of your life with your horse!"

"Eh? Is it really okay?"

The above clip is excerpted from a conversation between the Full Moon Queen and Latan one day. After the conversation, she took out her staff and spun him around.

According to unofficial historical records, the spell of spinning was originally developed by the Full Moon Queen to beat her son.

Because a certain silly son had thick skin and flesh, and could not be defeated by the pure physical strength of the magician, he finally developed this magic.

One day, when he was beating his son, he was seen by outsiders, and then he lied that it was the self-defense technique passed down from generation to generation by Princess Kalia.

But anyone who knows a little about magic can see that it's just a stunt.

After all, even if you use magic to drive the magic wand to spin for a long time, the damage will not be as great as if you just cast some spells to explode it.

Not to mention that Kalia is proficient in various melee knight magics, and can cause damage and look beautiful.

Even if you are not satisfied with the knight's bold movements, you can still be very graceful by slightly adjusting the movements. There is no need to develop such stupid fighting techniques, which may even break your wand.

But putting aside the wild history, at least the matter between Latarn and Xiao Ma has been a controversial issue in the Full Moon Queen's house for quite some time.

It’s not that the Full Moon Queen doesn’t support Latan raising the pony. She even has no objection even if Latan gives the pony up as a sacrifice.

But the problem was that Latarn had to take the pony with him everywhere he went.

We would ride together during the day, eat together at noon, and sometimes even sleep together at night.

Just, um...

Considering that her sister also ran away with a snake, the Full Moon Queen was quite tolerant of this matter.

Not to mention that Latarn didn't have any feelings for Xiao Ma. It was just an ordinary friendship. Although it was a bit difficult, she could still turn a blind eye.

But the problem is that you're already so big, yet you still insist on dragging this pony through life and death, even going so far as to learn gravity magic...

Aren't you kidding yourself with your life?

Coupled with the accumulation of previous behaviors, it is even getting worse...

Let alone the Full Moon Queen, even Lani and Lakkad found it hard to hold back when they talked about this.

Especially when chatting with others, when they hear others talking about the story between Qulatan and Xiao Ma, although they will smile stiffly and agree with what others say, but what are they really thinking in their hearts...

Only God knows.

In short, although the story of Latarn and Xiao Ma spread widely, only the people closest to him were reluctant to talk about it.

And now, this horse has even turned into a human, or half-human, and it has red hair, the favorite of the old La family, and it is even a female...

Combined with her past experiences, Lani really couldn't hold it anymore.

But just when the calm expression on her face was about to collapse, she suddenly thought of a good way to relieve stress.

"Does mother know about this?"

She lowered her head and whispered in Lord's ear.

Lord also replied in a low voice: "Not yet."

"Then remember to tell her about this when you get back—no, take me there later, and I'll tell her in person."

After a brief exchange, Lani raised her head and briefly discussed the situation with the red-haired horse girl. After knowing the other party's intention, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s okay, at least it hasn’t turned out to be the worst situation she imagined.

Although it is probably just a matter of time, it would be nice to have some buffer time.

"Since you have something important to do, we won't disturb you." Lani said.

The red-haired horsegirl nodded. "Thank you for your understanding, Miss Lani. Don't worry, General Latarn and I won't tell anyone about what happened here—we haven't seen anything."

"Ah? But..." Latan was a little confused.

The red-haired horse girl emphasized and repeated, "We haven't seen anything."

"......oh."

Then the man and the horse left.

After they left for a while and Lani breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Wait, what do you mean they haven't seen anything?

Because the shock of the pony turning into a human was too great, Lani was too focused on the situation between her and Latarn, and as a result, she forgot to pay attention to her own condition.

The result was that after she came to her senses, Lani realized that she had been riding on Lord's neck during the entire communication process.

She even hugged him repeatedly and whispered in his ear.

this......

After coming to her senses, Lani finally realized why the other person looked at her so subtly, and why that silly brother always seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Lani fell silent.

She wanted to say something, but her eyes suddenly caught sight of the fruit with several cracks on it in her other hand, and she swallowed her words back.

for a long time.

With a tired sigh, something felt extra on Lord's head.

"you win."

Lani lay directly on top of his head, and the elegant and mysterious posture she had always maintained finally collapsed completely.

She realized that wanting to maintain that attitude in front of this fool was more or less a result of her own wishful thinking.

Because no matter how serious and elegant she is, or how tight her defense is, this fool can suddenly hit you hard from an angle you never expect.

And she couldn't even fight back.

Because facing a hollow doll, she couldn't cause any harm to him except physical blows.

As for physical attacks, even if she didn't consider whether it was worth it, she couldn't beat him.

I can't talk it out, I can't fight it back, I can't even come up with any effective counterattack, and it's hard to even think about it...

After such a comprehensive defeat, even someone as stubborn as Princess Kalia finally had to admit her failure.

But it doesn’t feel that bad.

Originally, after she couldn't hold it anymore, Lani thought she would feel a sense of failure, or a sense of loss at having her image shattered after so long.

But in the end, the sadness only lasted a short while.

Because after lying on Lord's head for a while, she suddenly felt that this seemed not bad.

No need to constantly think about how to maintain my image, no need to worry about this idiot's sudden attack, no need to think about those twists and turns of darkness, fate, freedom, etc...

Just lie down and follow his footsteps without thinking about anything.

Just very comfortable.

There is a sense of relief, as if a heavy object wrapped around me has been removed.

but......

That's all.

After a soft sigh, Lani opened her eyes.

No matter how relaxed she was, she knew clearly that it was just a short rest.

From the moment she looked up at the sky and touched the laws of the stars, all her fate was determined.

Either obey the law and become a puppet, or embark on the dark road that is destined to be lonely.

She chose the latter, understood her own fate, and was willing to accept the corresponding price.

Just now...

"Lord."
