In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Although it was time for the sun to appear, the thick dark clouds covered the sky and no light could penetrate.

The whole world was in a grayish brightness.

The once magnificent city had now become a mess. Looking around, dust and charred dirt were everywhere.

The flames in many places were still not extinguished, swallowing everything around them.

A strange smell lingers in the whole city.

Corpses were scattered everywhere, for the confused crowd to walk through.

Among them were the bodies of coalition soldiers... but more of them were those of the Sarkaz.

The remaining banshees are trying their best to maintain order... but in reality, there's not much they can do.

The war is over... but it's just the beginning.

Although their support team was also killed by Maria, it was only a small part of the front line after all.

An army of 30,000 people does not even account for a large part of a single front, let alone the size of the entire coalition.

After Maria successfully broke through it, other coalition forces would soon receive the intelligence, and perhaps it wouldn't be long before they could see the next 30,000-strong army coming towards them.

Maybe even more.

Maria stood silently by the windowsill, looking silently at the scarred city below her feet.

She looked at the wailing crowd without saying a word.

Finally, she turned her gaze to the church yesterday.

Over there, tombstones had already been erected, but the fallen Father Sakota was nowhere to be seen.

Perhaps he didn't know how to face his parents who trusted him, or perhaps he didn't know why he should stay in this ruined city, so he chose to leave.

Leave here, leave this place that is like a nightmare to him.

Blinking, Maria turned back.

At the meeting, the banshees also stood up silently.

"In that case, let's start the rescue. As for the subsequent actions, we will inform everyone after the meeting."

A tired Ramalen spoke, simply giving her companions confidence.

And this group of dusty banshees also dispersed quietly.

This time, even the maids who originally cared about Lamaren left.

Only the maid named Mira looked over here sadly before leaving, and finally chose to retreat after looking at Maria for a while.

There is no need for these maids to guard this place anymore.

Her Royal Highness will take care of everything...

For a moment, the only ones left in the parliament court that had not yet been completely destroyed were the Banshee Lord and Maria.

"it's over?"

Maria silently stepped forward and stood beside Lamaren who was sitting on the majestic chair.

"Well... it's over."

Ramalen, who had just walked through the gates of death not long ago, was still very weak.

Although the skin color of the banshees is quite white, the skin on Lamaren's body now looks more like a sickly paleness.

Even his lips were pale, and his slightly haggard face made people feel distressed.

Facing Maria, she wanted to stand up and talk to her.

But just a slight weakness made her fall to her knees.

Maria quickly helped him up, and seeing how miserable he looked, she put him back in his place.

"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet..."

"Ah."

Faced with Maria's extremely rare concern, Lamaren just lowered her eyes slightly, revealing a bit of self-mockery.

She couldn't help but look at her city. Looking at the gray world, she felt more and more pain and helplessness in her heart.

If Maria hadn't been there yesterday, she really couldn't imagine what the city would become in her hands and how bad the situation would become.

"I...maybe I'm really not suitable for this position."

As the Lord of Banshees, she should have led her compatriots towards tomorrow, but in the end, the city was attacked because the banshees tried to save themselves.

She had no idea how to face those people...not to mention how she would continue to guide them.

She felt that she was totally unqualified!

"...Is it too late to think about this now?"

Looking at the girl blaming herself, Maria tilted her head with a calm expression on her face.

"You've taken on this responsibility...which means that unless they choose to give up on you, you have to hold on every day of your life."

"I have only heard of subjects abandoning their rulers, but I have never heard of a ruler abandoning his subjects..."

"...You are right, Ms. Maria." Lamaren sighed.

She knew that Maria was right...very right.

Now that I have taken on this responsibility, I have no right to hesitate.

What's more, she took the responsibility on her own initiative, so she has no right to complain.

She has to be responsible for herself, and even more so for everyone else who believes in her!

"Naturally, girl."

Maria paused for a moment, then slowly stretched out her hand.

The slightly cool fingers touched the girl's cheek, and she gently lifted it up.

Two exquisite faces were pressed close to each other.

"Besides... even if you want to give up your responsibilities, that's for later. You can't do that now..."

Maria said this, her eyes flickering as she exhaled the scent of incense.

These smells were extremely offensive and in just a moment, they invaded the girl's entire brain!

Ramalen's face couldn't help but turn red.

Breathing also became a little rapid.

"Ms. Maria..."

She waved her hands in panic, her eyes flashing wildly...

too close……

It’s really too close…

At this distance, she even felt that she had touched those soft lips, like some sweet dessert.

As the words were spoken, she could even feel the two people's lips rubbing against each other!

Too close... too weird...

But in the end, her little claws could only weakly grasp Maria's back.

He tugged at the delicate hunting clothes tightly.

"You owe me one, girl..."

Maria didn't let go of her hand, but instead brought the two of them a little closer.

She had to admit that she was indeed a little worried that the other party would really have a mental breakdown and give up her responsibility as the Banshee Lord.

So what was her killing yesterday?

玩笑吗？

"I need you... I need you to attend the meeting of the Lord of the Royal Court."

"Meeting?"

The panicked girl's mind was hazy and she was a little confused.

But Maria just continued firmly.

"Yes, the meeting..."

"I have some things I want to investigate, and most of these things are impossible to find in any ancient texts... So I need to find some beings with long lifespans to see if they know anything."

"But before that, I need you..."

Maria's voice was calm, but Lamaren didn't know why she couldn't stand up in front of her.

She could only bite her lips lightly and look at the eyes in front of her that seemed to be shining with stars.

My heartbeat keeps getting faster and faster.

"I need the status of the Banshee King's Princess... But don't worry, I won't occupy this position for too long. Once I get what I want, it will mean that you have repaid the favor."

Maria said, her voice like a demonic sound almost caressing Lamaren's brain.

The stimulation made her body tremble slightly.

To be honest, for a woman whom I had just known for a few days, Lamaren's reaction was really a bit strange.

No matter how much you like it, you should still spend a few more days to get to know it.

But the fact is... she really couldn't resist Maria's temptation.

If you think about it carefully, although we haven't known each other for long, Maria has actually done a lot of things.

Delivering important intelligence about the collapse of the front line.

Accompanied her to investigate the coalition forces' base.

Blocked the enemy's attack.

Led the Banshees to defeat the coalition forces.

In the most dangerous situation, he managed to turn the tide and pierced the airship flying thousands of meters in the sky!

Maria almost perfectly interprets what it means to be strong and beautiful with her actions.

Her will, as firm as a gem, makes her whole being filled with an indescribable mystery.

This made Lamaren almost irresistibly attracted to it!

No one could resist such a strong, graceful, and determined woman...

Even if it is not a special relationship, even if it is just as friends.

She is always so reassuring...

"Before I can accomplish my goal...I still need you, girl."

Maria spoke softly, slowly stroking the back of the girl's head so that her actions would not seem so rough.

Her eyes were slightly lowered, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly in her half-closed gray eyes, and her breath was faintly orchid-like.

"So... now, I must still be your princess..."

"Princess...Princess."

Lamaren blushed slightly.

His words were a little halting.

But when she saw Maria's hesitant but unwavering look, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

"I...I understand."

"No matter what the future holds."

"But at least, I will hold on until the Royal Court Council!"

"I hope you can fulfill your promise." Maria said softly, her eyes slightly closed.

Outside the door, a large group of Banshee members who had not yet evacuated were looking at this side with red cheeks. For a moment, they were so excited that they couldn't express it in words.
