The first ray of morning breeze blows leisurely, blowing across the sparkling water, crossing the ancient wooden bridge on the lake that is full of years of wind and frost, taking away some of the fragrance of grass and wood, drifting to the other side of the lake, the grass-covered lake* plain.
There stands an elegant little church quietly.
Looking at the small church made of stones standing on the quiet grassland in the distance, it seems to have existed since ancient times and is completely natural around it. It is as if God has left it in this corner. It is so quiet and beautiful. .
In this church, which is usually quiet and deserted except for the singing of birds, a visitor appears after a long absence.
The man had long, silky black hair, wore a black lady's hat, and a lavender fur coat. He looked extremely noble and elegant. Inside this ancient church, they look like noble ladies in the Middle Ages.
However, in this empty church, she was just a person, silently kneeling in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary, crossing her fingers, closing her eyes, and praying silently.
I don¡¯t know when it started, but I seemed to have developed this habit unconsciously. As long as she came here, she would always come to this quiet little church alone, and pray for the last time in such a quiet and pious way.
It¡¯s a bit incredible to say that if it were my previous self, even a few years ago, I would have never thought of coming to church to pray, right? But now, it seems to have become a bit natural, so natural that even she herself can't believe it.
Is it because he had a high self-esteem and was headstrong, and finally turned into stars and disappeared on the battlefield?
Is it still because of him who struggled desperately, regardless of everything, and illuminated the dark starry sky with his brilliance?
Or, is it because, in this world, there is already someone for whom she is worthy of giving up everything in the past, for whom she prays and protects?
Maybe, there are more or less these reasons?
In the past, she was also the kind of person who was arrogant, put her eyes above everything else, and put her interests first. But this can't be blamed on her, because her birth is a blend of interests and interests, and her growth is destined to be burdened with a supreme status, as well as the bottomless , a suffocating and inescapable whirlpool of interests
Standing in that position, she had seen too much greed, selfishness, betrayal and death. Even his younger brother, who was of the same mind, eventually disappeared into the long river of history because of his arrogance and arrogance, leaving not even a splash behind. And she once thought that she would eventually be swallowed by the whirlpool and sleep in the eternal and cold darkness. Until she saw that gleam of brilliant dawn and a warm hand that could pull her away from the whirlpool
Therefore, she cherishes her current life very much. Because she cherishes it, she can't help but feel a little worried about gains and losses.
She cares too much about what she has now and is too afraid of losing it. And this kind of fearful emotion, no matter who it appeared in, could not appear in her body.
Even if she gives up everything in the past, she still has her own pride.
She didn¡¯t know how to talk to anyone, and she didn¡¯t bother to talk to anyone, so she chose to pray to the gods, which she once thought was extremely childish and an escape behavior for the weak. However, she no longer thinks so.
O kind Lord, please forgive our sins and remove the heavy shackles. May we all be able to be together forever, live healthily, happily, and with peace of mind.
An ordinary but extraordinary prayer, this is her most sincere voice today. For her, praying is not so much an escape as it is a spiritual sustenance for herself. Not only did this not make her weak, it actually made her stronger.
Of course, as to whether prayer is useful or not, that is not something she can control.
After all, if everyone¡¯s wishes could come true, the world would probably be in chaos long ago.
"So you are here"
However, in this scene that looked as quiet and beautiful as an oil painting, a voice suddenly sounded at this moment.
Hearing that voice, the black-haired woman couldn't help but gently opened her eyes with a smile.
She turned around gracefully and looked in the direction of the door.
The man is standing in the light. Wearing a white shirt, he put one hand on the wooden door frame, with a bright smile that was half helpless and half warm, which suddenly gave the slightly dark church a little more brilliance.
¡°Why, are you still afraid of accidentally losing me?¡±
Seeing the man's slightly helpless and embarrassed face, she couldn't help but reveal a playful smile on her face.
"How dare you, even if I lose the whole world, I don't dare to lose you"
Facing her teasing, the man could only helplessly shrug his shoulders, looking aggrieved.
"In the final analysis, I still don't dare, not that I don't know how!" She couldn't help but press the brim of her hat, blocking her eyes, leaving only that charming smile, "You should still keep these coaxing words. Just tell me in front of Lux, I won¡¯t accept this.¡±
¡° Even so, he could understand it as he was familiar with her. From the charming and mysterious smile on her lips, he had already guessed her true mood at the moment. He said he wouldn't do this, but his reaction was very honest
¡°You are really as dishonest as ever, this arrogant witch. However, maybe only he can appreciate her cuteness that is not frank, right? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but relax his expression and showed a proud smile.
"Are you happy that you disturbed my prayer?" Looking at the man's lustful smile, she couldn't help but say angrily.
"How dare you? I just think that you would actually come to pray for me, and I feel very touched!"
Shrugging, a gentle smile appeared on the man's face. The look of her praying peacefully was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to interrupt. But after standing at the door for a long time, he really couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but speak after I stopped.
"You do have a beautiful thought. How do you know that I must be praying for you?"
She couldn't help but reveal a teasing smile on her face, gently adjusted her dress, and stood up gracefully.
"Anyway, I know that apart from me, there will be no other man in this world who has this honor"
There was a confident smile on the man's face and he waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Ara, this is a coincidence. Just now, I was praying for another man." The woman couldn't help but stretched out her hand and gently covered her mouth, revealing a mysterious and charming expression. Smiling, then reaching out and gently tapping the man's nose, "Besides, no one can replace that man's position in my heart, not even you!"
"Uh don't make trouble. You always like to make jokes like this that are not funny at all. How could there be other men you like" The man couldn't help but reach out and touch the tip of his nose that she touched. , showing an awkward and helpless smile.
"What do you think?" The woman's face was filled with a playful and charming smile, but her whole body was filled with a dignified and elegant temperament. These two completely different temperaments were perfectly integrated in her body. Every gesture she made was to tease the man's heart, making him feel as if a cat was scratching her heart, but he was helpless towards her, and felt extremely aggrieved.
"Okay Then tell me who he is, and I will kill him now"
In the end, he was defeated by her smile as usual, sighed helplessly, and said through gritted teeth.
"What nonsense are you talking about in such a sacred place like the church!" After hearing his words, she couldn't help but feel angry and funny at the same time.
"My head is almost stained with a hint of green. Do you think I should fight for my life?" The man said angrily.
"Okay, even if you try to find him desperately, you can't find him. He is no longer in this world." Seeing his gritted teeth, she couldn't help but reveal a weird smile, and then, It's a touch of loneliness and sadness.
"You mean Gina?" Looking at her appearance, the man was slightly startled, but then he thought of a place with her.
He was not a slow-thinking person, and he was not really blinded by jealousy. Just thinking about it for a moment, he knew who the man she just said could not replace him. Female student's male teacher.
Lund Gina Sahak, her twin brother, was once one of the top people in the world, but now, he is just a name that disappears in the wind. He suddenly felt that he was bored enough to be jealous of a dead man.
"Although I don't intend to express any thoughts about his personal ideals, at least he sacrificed his life for his ideals How should I put it, please be more open-minded? You also know that I am not very good at comforting people¡¡"
Facing her who looked like a witch all day long, the sudden sentimentality at this moment caught him off guard, and even felt like he was at a loss. He could only silently stretch out his hand and gently put his arm around her waist, letting her She leaned her head slightly on her shoulder.
"I'm fine. I've recognized this fact very early on. Gina's approach is wrong. Although his and Uzmi's ideas may seem different, in terms of 'imposing their own ideas on the people' In a sense, the essence is the same. They both made mistakes, so both Gina and Uzmi died. But we survived"
"And the so-called revolution is just this"
For this rare occasion, she did not laugh out loud, but obeyed and gently leaned her head on his shoulder. This one was still a little immature, but already firm, and his broad arms made her feel a little at ease.
"Um, so, how come you suddenly thought of coming to this church to pray? I've never seen you here before? If my daughter hadn't told me, I probably wouldn't have found you. Already"
It was a rare time to be alone, and he didn¡¯t want the atmosphere to remain immersed in this slight heaviness, so he couldn¡¯t help but change the topic
"I haven't been here? I think you were so immersed in your honeymoon with Claire and Misty that you didn't even know when I left, right?" She had already softened after hearing his words. His eyes instantly became extremely cold, and even the smile at the corner of his mouth rose slightly at some point, filled with a cold and dangerous aura that made him shiver uncontrollably.
"UmOkay, I admit what Claire saidbut Misty, please, I have always regarded her as my sister!"
Feeling the strong hands on his waist, the man was about to cry without tears, and showed an expression that was even more unfair than Dou E's.
"Oh, really? Didn't you treat Claire as your sister at first? But what happened? Didn't she get carried into bed by you?"
However, in the face of his sophistry, she just smiled coldly and exposed his despicable behavior of self-destruction.
"" The man suddenly felt that it would be better if he stopped talking. This witch's powerful sophistry and brainwashing abilities are even more powerful than that of the pink enchantress at home. If she talks to him a few more words, he may even be tempted to commit suicide to thank the world.
"Okay, okay, seeing as your attitude is quite sincere, I won't tease you anymore. I know your character will not take the initiative to go to a church, a place that is so boring to you, so I'll just let you go. You stayed with Claire and the others for a while. After all, you didn¡¯t spend much time with them since then.
Seeing him rolling his eyes with a ridiculous expression of grievance and stubbornness, the coldness on her face finally melted away. As if winter is passing and spring is coming, it melts into the most sincere and brilliant smile.
Hearing her words, the man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been granted amnesty, and then couldn't help but be grateful for the Queen's magnanimity.
And he couldn¡¯t agree more with what she said. He believes in the magic of fate, and also believes that there may really be a destiny somewhere. However, he did not feel that anything could be changed by coming to church to pray. Besides, he didn't have the time to do such a thing. For him, if he has time to pray that he will not die, it is better to spend time training more
"But having said that, I am very curious. I always thought that witches would not pray to the Virgin"
Having said this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at her curiously. She didn't seem like someone who would do such a thing!
Cagalli and Mia just go to church to pray. This is due to their personalities. Not to mention Fleur and Lux, Frey's amulet magic stick even made him shake his faith, let alone Lux who witnessed it saving his life.
However, what he didn't expect was that even this witch couldn't help but join their ranks, which surprised him somewhat. He originally thought that she was a materialist like him and was not very interested in the tricks of gods
"Who stipulates that witches can't pray?" Her face returned to that mysterious and charming smile, and she gently broke away from his arms, "And, if I am a witch, then Who do you think you are when you are with me?"
"The Demon King? It's true, even for people like me, the Holy Mother is willing to forgive me over and over again"
Smiling self-deprecatingly, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the bracelet worn on his neck.The nameplate on the child.
"You are quite self-aware." After hearing his words, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, then walked lightly to a window on the side wall, turned her head, and gently stroked her long hair blown by the breeze with her hands. behind the ear, and then curled her fingers toward him charmingly.
"Whatwhat's wrong?" The ecstatic eyes and gestures made his mind wander, but he suppressed the thought in a flash. Because so far, as long as this witch shows such an expression, it will definitely not do anything good for him.
"It's nothing. Since it's rare for you to come, come and see the most beautiful scenery in this church, the most refreshing scenery"
Cleanse people¡¯s hearts? Listening to her words, he couldn't help but curiously took his steps and came to the window made of bluestone.
And the next second, he understood what she said. The so-called scenery that can cleanse people's hearts was not an exaggerated rhetoric.
He once accompanied Lux ??and the others in Europe to see the most famous and magnificent churches in the world, which were filled with scenes of heaven.
However, here, artists are redundant, because the blue lake outside, the changing clouds on the lake, and the continuous snow-capped mountains in the distance are already a scene in paradise.
At this moment, he finally understood why she liked to come to this church and come here to pray quietly alone.
"How do you feel, describe it?" She leaned gently on the window sill, looking at him with a hint of expectation and inquiry.
"What do you think?" The man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "It can't be described, or in other words, it can't be described by simple words. Perhaps this scenery can only be seen in person. Only then can you appreciate his beauty.¡±
She didn¡¯t speak or turn her head, she just looked at him quietly, waiting for his next words.
"However, I can talk about my personal feelings" After saying this, he couldn't help but press his hands on the slightly cold bluestone window sill, leaned forward slightly, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. He took a breath of air that smelled slightly of grass.
"Peace, or in other words, can make the heart quiet down, as if it can forget all the sorrows and troubles." At this point, he couldn't help but open his eyes, turned around, looked into her eyes, and showed a smile. "If I really want to describe it, it should be the four words you just said, cleansing people's hearts! This is indeed a good place. Although I am not used to praying, it is still a good place to come and see these scenery often. Make your choice".
"Sure enough, you think so too"
Looking at the way his whole body seemed to be stretched out, she couldn't help but reveal an unspeakable smile.
It seems to be some kind of affirmation, and it also seems to be some kind of relief, as if the whole person has relaxed.
"Well, what did you just say?"
The words that seemed to be muttered to himself were so soft that even his superhuman hearing could not hear them clearly.
"It's nothing" Feeling the breeze blowing in front of her, she couldn't help but close her eyes comfortably, and then said with a chuckle, "Didn't you ask me before why I fell in love with you in the first place? After you showed me Before you show your natural strength?"
"Ah, indeed, but you didn't give me your answer." Although he didn't know why she mentioned this matter at this time, he couldn't help but pricked up his ears.
This problem has troubled him for a long time, so much so that he even doubted her purpose at that time.
Of course, he would not be so narcissistic as to think that she fell in love with him at that time. After all, they had very few interactions before, and most of them were on opposite sides of the national class. When it comes to their feelings for each other, they should be more wary and wary, right?
Because of this, although the result of this question has no meaning now, he is still very curious.
"If I said it was because of my feelings, would you believe it?" There was a mysterious smile on her lips that was still elusive.
"Huh? Feeling?" After hearing her answer, the man couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Feel? Is this a fucking reason? Stop making trouble, he really feels amused now!
"Yes, it's just a feeling." However, facing his disbelief, she was not surprised at all. Instead, she nodded affirmatively, "Although I haven't had much contact with you, and some have only a few. Entanglements and interactions in sub-national interestsThat¡¯s all. Although you could be considered half an enemy to me at the time, this did not prevent me from thinking that you were a worthy partner. "
She told all this in a very normal tone, as if she was not the person involved.
"And the reason why I think so is because I feel that we are so similar to each other." She paused for a moment, and then continued, "We are also burdened with the vortex of interests when we grow up and are born. We are both burdened with the fate of our country, and we also want to find a path of peace in this world. You and I have too much in common, both in terms of experience and personality."
"And those several negotiations with you made me confirm the most important point!" At this point, she couldn't help but turn her head and look deeply into the pair of dark green eyes that she was so familiar with. .
"What you see is exactly what I feel. What you are chasing is exactly what I expect. What you are afraid of is exactly what I am worried about." At this point, she couldn't help but feel She reached out her hand and gently touched his cheek. There was a sincerity and firmness in her eyes that he rarely saw, "So there's no need for me to continue talking about the next thing, right?"
"You are really bold enough to bet all your wealth on this illusory feeling!"
After listening to her words, he didn't know what to say. Should he blame her for her haste, or should he be grateful for her trust? He could only silently hold the hand she placed on his cheek and hold it firmly.
"For me at that time, it could be regarded as the last resort, right? After all, Orb could no longer be saved at that time. I think even if I failed, I would have nothing to lose, right?" She smiled bitterly as if she was self-deprecating. After a moment, "Of course, I'm not holding on to the idea of ??breaking the pot. After all, before this, I have never met anyone whose thoughts are consistent with mine to this extent! In addition, you are also blessed with evolution. Factor owner, so I was thinking, maybe God sent you to me!"
Her face was filled with rare tenderness, and that tenderness made him freeze there, unable to move.
"Fortunately, you did not disappoint me. You did it, and you did it better than I imagined!"
Today¡¯s peace, today¡¯s stability, and today¡¯s joy are all due to this man. He has brought this peaceful life to countless people in this world. She deeply loves this peaceful life now. Naturally, she also loves the person who brought all this.
"Of course, who do you think I am!"
Feeling her overflowing enthusiasm and love, he couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart. It was a kind of uncontrollable excitement and pride. He couldn't help but reach out and hug her tightly, and then he remembered a very classy line.
"I am both a god and a devil. I can destroy this world, and I can also recreate it!"
Yes, he once led the world to the darkest end, but in the end, he brought the dawn of hope to the world!
"You're really out of breath after I tell you a few words, my dear Demon King? Do you really think that you are omnipotent and the best in the world?" Seeing his pretentious appearance like a villain, , she couldn't help but feel angry and funny at the same time.
"Well, don't you dare, even if I am the world's number one Demon King, you must be the world's number one Witch, Your Highness!"
Even he would feel embarrassed if someone interrupted him even if he pretended to be cool, and he couldn't help but laugh lightly.
"Oh, can I take this sentence as a declaration to establish that I am the main palace? I will talk to Lux when I get back."
Hearing his words, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
That smile was so malicious but still so charming and mysterious. It made him depressed and aggrieved, but at the same time he couldn't afford to get angry. He could only feel itchy and uncomfortable.
"No, please spare me, Your Majesty the Witch!" He lowered his head helplessly, almost kowtowing, and he felt that his self-esteem as a man had been thrown away by him unknowingly. Both are clean.
"Cute little boy, you are always too young for me" She couldn't help but smile and tapped the tip of his nose, "Okay, it's almost time to go back, Lilith and Nicole Not to mention, I guess little Lucas is also impatient to wait? This guy has exactly the same personality as you!"
"Is he my son after all However, Nicole and Lilith are also carved out of the same mold as Lux and you. Now, I am worried that this kid Lucas can"I can grow up healthily and happily" The man shrugged helplessly.
"What, do you have any objections to the way I educate my children?" She couldn't help but snorted.
"How dare you" The man immediately stood at attention and saluted, his attitude of admitting his mistake was quite upright.
¡°Lucas, I can only help you so far, please wish yourself well¡±
In fact, the scene he was worried about was happening in a small garden not far from the church.
"Wow, brother, your flower crown is so beautiful! Who did you learn it from?"
"Hey, this is a long story, but when you go out, how can you not have a craft to accompany you! These days, if you don't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or your zodiac blood type, you are embarrassed to say that you are just here to pick up girls"
"Huh? Did you just say something?"
"Umno, you heard wrong"
"Can I give this flower crown to Nicole?"
"Um, this"
¡°Well, you¡¯re not being nice to Nicole, I¡¯m going to tell Fleur¡¯s mother!¡±
"Ah, no, actually, this flower crown is not impossible"
The little boy with blue hair quickly grabbed the little girl who was about to get up. To be honest, this flower crown and the pink little princess really match each other very well. However, this corolla already has an owner
Just when he was hesitant, a cough suddenly sounded from behind him.
Although the sound was not loud, it made the little boy holding the flower crown tremble all over and even stopped his movements.
"Brother, who do you want to give my flower crown to?" This is a childish voice, but it seems to be born with a noble aura.
"Ah, Lilith, you're here. My brother didn't plan to give it to anyone. Isn't this always reserved for you?"
The little boy immediately turned around and put on a flattering expression. He was exactly the same as his father.
"Lilith, are you coming to snatch something from Nicole again!" Unlike the little boy who suddenly changed his face, the pink princess pouted her cheeks and looked angrily at the young lady in front of her who was wearing a gothic lolita style outfit. little girls of the same age.
"What is snatching? This belongs to me!" The Goth girl came to the little boy with a condescending expression and smiled at him. "Come on, brother, crown me with your own hands." The honor!¡±
"No not very scared" The little boy couldn't help but swallow, looked at the proud Goth girl, and then at the angry pink princess, and still picked up the wreath tremblingly.
"Ah! Brother! Don't put it on her! That's what you want to give to Nicole, right! If you want to wear it, wear it for Nicole! Otherwise, Nicole will tell Aunt Fleur that you and Lilith bullied me together!" Look! Her beloved things were about to be taken away, and she couldn't bear it anymore.
"Ithis" Sandwiched between the two aunts, the little boy was really frustrated. He couldn't afford to offend either of them, but he always offended them again for no reason. He was simply worse than Dou E. What an injustice!
¡°Hmph, only children will move their parents out whenever they encounter an unsolvable problem¡±
Hearing what the pink girl said, the black-haired goth girl couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic smile.
"Whatwhat! Aren't you the same age as me?"
It seemed that she felt a little guilty because of what she said, and the pink girl couldn't help but said angrily.
"But at least, I have never used this method, and I don't bother to use this method! Now, right, brother?"
The Goth girl¡¯s face was filled with a smile of victory, and she was mercilessly mocking her opponent.
"You! Me! Wellbrother, good brother, you see, compared to Lilith, Nicole treats you better, right? And you also love Nicole more, don't you?" The pink girl After being angry for a while, he decided to change his approach and use his big, watery eyes to look pitifully at the embarrassed blue-haired boy over there.
"Hmph, are you just pretending to be cute if you are looking for your parents? Nicole, after all, you are just like a child. With these methods of yours, there is no way you can control a man's heart Well, this is mom Tell me!" the Goth girl said proudly.
"Whawhat! You've been chattering away from the beginning. If you have the ability, come and try it, just use your so-called adult methods!" The pink girl was so angry that at this age, this guy in front of her was the only one who could let her down. She is soVery angry.
"Then just watch!" The Goth girl gave her a demonstrative look, then chuckled and said to the blue-haired little boy, "Brother, please help me put on this flower crown. In this way, Lilith will I don¡¯t want you to secretly use dad¡¯s computer to read pornographic videos¡ugh!¡±
"Okay! Lilith, brother, this flower crown was originally prepared for you, so of course I put it on for you!"
In an instant, the blue-haired little boy changed into a righteous look, and then gently put the flower crown on her long black hair. By the way, from an angle that the pink girl could not see, he stretched out his hand to cover his brother. Special girl's mouth.
"Ugh! I'm not willing to give in! Nicole is not willing to give in! This doesn't count! Lilith, what on earth did you say to your brother!"
Seeing that her beloved things were taken away, the pink girl jumped in anger.
"Huh, there's no point in trying to fool around. This flower crown belongs to Lilith anyway!" The Gothic girl broke free from the hand covering her mouth and showed a proud look, "As for you, you are too immature. I can't win against you. There is no suspense at all! Let¡¯s wait until you grow up and understand the adult world! Do you think so, my dear brother?¡±
"Um, yesyes"
"Brother" The pink girl looked at him aggrievedly with tears in her eyes.
"Um, that"
Caught between two witches, big and small, the little boy felt that it was so difficult to be a human being.
However, the Goth girl ignored the pink girl and walked straight in front of the little boy as if she was too lazy to look at the loser.
She raised her petite but proud head and chest, and announced the ownership of the spoils in a condescending tone.
¡°In the name of Lilith vi Osiris, I give this order, brother, please become mine!¡±
At that moment, he saw the most noble and coquettish witch.
