- As the end of the year approaches, the city of Valhalla always looks particularly beautiful. The whole city is shrouded in a special atmosphere, warm and peaceful. Tianlai Novel | 2 Snowflakes were floating outside the dark window, and the lights on Princess Street were rising in the distance. The magical light connected dots in the darkness to form a bright necklace. Below is a peaceful outer city, with lights and a warm family behind every window.
????????????????????????????????:?????????????: The brightly lit middle platform is visible above, where citizens were having an all-night carnival. Chiara held her cheek. There were twinkling lights in his eyes, looking there with envy.
This is the third year that she has been living under the fence. Since the death of Levin-Oneson, Her Royal Highness the Princess has sent her to this place in the name of marriage. But this is essentially to keep Chiara away from those relatives with ill intentions. After all, there are many people in the Sifah family who covet the inheritance of that title.
Chiara herself is not used to anything. She neither likes nor dislikes Fir Tree Leader, but she is very interested in the Earl, her nominal fianc¨¦. In this era, the childbearing age of women is often very early, especially for aristocratic girls. Chiara does not really mind this marriage. After all, the other party is the spouse whom her brother Oneson personally recommended to her, and he is so outstanding.
If not, how could she give Sifah's heart to that person? The necklace itself has the meaning of a token of love.
But what made her feel a little annoyed was that her distant cousin always looked at her like a child, for fear that the earl would get involved. "Humph, I just want to steal it!" Chiara frowned and tugged at the quill: "It's so annoying, what happened to the descendants of Elkann III?"
Ling and Lian looked at Chiara's movements with confusion.
The elves have slow childbirth. A few years ago, the two of them seemed to be the same size as Chiara, but now the latter has become more and more like a little sister. Compared with the two little girls, she has some more ignorant worries. "Chiara, what's wrong with you?" Lian asked softly.
"You don't understand." Chiara replied impatiently.
Ling replied calmly: "Miss Antitina said that you don't want to go anywhere this year."
"I understand," Chiara was so angry that she wanted to scratch her head: "You don't need to repeat it again."
"Don't mess up your head." Qian helped her nail the last copper button and warned her.
Medisa was behind the three of them, holding Ling's head to braid her braids, listening to the chatter of the three little girls with a smile on her face. Although the two sisters were fostered under Akane's name, as her sister's daughters, they could be regarded as her real relatives in this world.
"Miss Antitina is too strict with them." Akane carefully adjusted Chiara's collar, straightened up, and said to Medissa with a slight frown. The little silver elf princess smiled, her eyes curved into crescent moons, and she shook her head and said, "Then you have to tell her yourself."
Qian¡¯s eyes widened, she didn¡¯t dare to mess with that stern young lady.
"Miss Antitina is also afraid that something will happen to them," Medissa said with a smile: "After all, today is different from the past. The army of dusk is pressing on the territory, and the decisive battle is imminent. Although the minions of the Dragon of Dusk in the territory of Order are greatly weakened, there is no guarantee that they will not No matter what happens, you must be careful in everything."
She looked at the three little girls and said: "But at the beginning of the new year, staying at home is really not an option. When the banquet is over, I will take you to see the celebration."
Chiara suddenly raised her head, her eyes almost shining: "Really, Sister Medissa?"
"Of course, but you have to be obedient later." Medisa said seriously.
"Yeah!" The three little girls, after all, are children at heart, and cheered together.
With a "whoosh", the cold wind mixed with snowflakes poured into the warm hall, and even the bright fire light in the furnace dimmed a few degrees. Antitina, Nymesis and Bai Jia pushed the door in from outside the yard. The three of them A thin layer of snow accumulated on the shoulders of the windbreaker. Bai Jia took off his windbreaker and handed it to Fuluo, who had a stern face. He looked at a few people with a smile and asked, "What are you so happy about?"
"Humph." Chiara snorted lightly.
"Sister Medisa wants to take us out to play." Lian replied very obediently.
"That's really good."
"To coax a child." Chiara replied calmly.
Antitina gave her a stern look.
Everyone snickered, Medissa also lowered her head and chuckled. Antitina asked Fuluo on the side: "Have any other guests arrived? I saw the carriage outside." Fuluo's ears twitched. Miss Elf was staring at her sister, and Tia sneaked up to a long table.He stuck out his tongue in amusement - and obediently put down the gingerbread in his hand.
She then answered: "Princess Griffin and Princess Magdal are upstairs in the study."
The staff lady nodded.
She looked at the three little girls carefully and said with rare tenderness: "Remember not to cause any trouble to Miss Medisa."
"Understood!"
A crisp reply.
Brando watched this scene warmly by the fireplace, feeling a little lost.
This fir castle is like his home in this world, and every member of it seems to be a part of this family. Whether it¡¯s Medisa, Akane, Antitina, Senior, Ling, Lian or others, although people don¡¯t know what the near future will be like, there is no doubt that everyone cherishes this very much. The present time.
Just like the last days of the spring dawn, in this new year, people understand that perhaps they will recall this last peaceful time for a long, long time in the future.
In the days to come, people will witness more of the spreading war, death, parting, and sadness.
It will be more tragic than any war the civilized world has ever experienced.
Brando asked intently: "Is there any news about Caglis?"
Behind him, Charles slowly shook his head: "No, but we searched the entire Burniche and surrounding areas afterwards. At least Mr. Caglis's body was not found, so we can only judge it as missing."
Brando sighed, knowing in his heart that there were too many strange abilities and spells in this world. Even if the body was not found, there was no guarantee that the other party was completely safe. Presumably, when Caglis protected Haruze and Mikaya from leaving that day, he must have made all preparations in his heart¡ª¡ª
Brando was just a little disappointed in his heart. He was the one who made this young man embark on this path. He promised to bless his marriage to Melia. Now the old-school aristocratic gentleman finally nodded, but this outstanding young man has I can't wait for that day anymore.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess also asked about this matter. Astrologers believe that this is not a sign of death. Maybe we have not lost all hope."
"I think so too, but I can't take my hand away now. The situation in Karasu is becoming more and more serious day by day. Local affairs have been entrusted to the patrol cavalry of Llantonilan." Charles replied.
Brando nodded, understanding that this was the only way to go.
He gently put down the letter in his hand and flattened the corners of the plain paper with his fingers.
After a while, he asked again: "Ciel, what is Gaia?"
Charles looked at the letter and hesitated for a moment: "Is this the letter that Ms. Bai wrote to you?"
Brando nodded.
"Then you have to ask Owena or Miss Andrea about this question. After all, only they know something about that past mythical era." Charles replied, and the fire in the fireplace not far away was burning. , red light reflected on one side of his face.
"I asked them."
"Oh, what did they say?"
"Gaia is not part of tiamat's authority. Only Martha knows where Gaia is. Its duty is to nurture life. The 'Curved Surface Project' that created me was completed by Martha with the help of Gaia's power. Tiamat's network It just provided the necessary energy for this plan. Because of this, we successfully deceived the Dragon of Dusk¡ª¡ª"
Ciel was a little surprised when he heard this and asked: "Doesn't that mean that Gaia does not have the authority of tiamat law and is not a god?"
Brando nodded.
"That seems to be true. I remember that in the era of the people of the gods, Gaia was not a real god. The main god of the Earth Temple was Himmelud, the god of mountains. Torquining's lion man and dwarf Although people respect Gaia as the Mother of the Earth, there is no record of this goddess participating in the war in the descriptions of previous wars in the Poem of Blue."
Charles frowned and suddenly remembered something.
But Brando asked: "Maybe she is not a goddess of war?"
"But her authority is not within the laws of tiamat, unless her power is equal to Martha," Ciel replied decisively: "Another main god."
Brando thought of the girl he had seen in the Stagnant Realm who looked very similar to Funya and shook his head. He has seen Martha, the kind of power that can control the entire law of tiamat with every move, that kind of majestic and all-embracing power, as if it owns the entire world. Although the goddess Gaia may know many secrets, she is so wise that she seems to have insightEverything was different, but it gave him a completely different feeling.
Ciel looked at him and suddenly asked: "Why does the Lord ask about this?"
Brando shook his head and replied: "Bai said in the letter that she would leave a hope for all of us. I originally thought she was just trying to resurrect Medisa, but now it seems that her intention is far from that. She After all the hard work, I gained the power of Gaia, and even had to abandon my earthly feelings. Why?¡±
¡°She is a very ambitious woman in her own right, sir.¡±
Brando looked at Charles: "Are you still worried about your great-grandfather?"
The latter shook his head: "That's not the case. I just want to say that there may be more than one Isis in the world."
Brando nodded.
But there was a faint feeling in her heart that maybe Bai Zai didn't lie to her in this matter.
What is the other party¡¯s so-called hope?
"Griffin stared at the bright lights of Valhalla in the dark night from a distance.
She put down the white porcelain tea cup with both hands, and the fragrance of tea lingered in the study. She raised her hat and looked at her best friend intently: "When you were in Vlada, did you think about today, Magdal?"
Magdale smiled and shook his head: "Griffin, I will tell you that even in the most crazy and absurd dreams, I never thought that such a day would come. Do you believe it?"
Princess Griffin did not answer.
But silent silence is already the answer to all problems.
Yes, who would have thought of that? Their fates would turn 180 degrees at the intersection of Ampelsel, and it was all because of the same person. Griffin gently rubbed the rim of the cup with his thin fingertips: "Sometimes I even have the illusion that this is not my real destiny, maybe it is just a beautiful dream. I am very afraid that I will wake up from this dream. Come, because these days I often have a nightmare that wakes me up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat"
"What kind of nightmare is that, my friend?" Magdale asked: "Perhaps you have been too worried these days. Why don't you tell me and let me share some of it with you. Maybe it will make you feel a lot better."
"Thank you, Magdal," Griffin said softly: "In my dream, I dreamed of another different Eruin, where I did not meet Brando, and I was with you in Vlada. After the separation, I was betrayed by the royal party in Ampelsel and had to marry Anlek and become his tool to have children. The conditions promised to me by the nobles were just beautiful lies. I saw it with my own eyes. When Haruze died in front of me, and Eruin finally sank into the sea of ??fire, I tried my best to save everything, but what waited for me in the end was just a sharp blade¡ª¡ª"
Her Royal Highness the Princess's voice trembled a little: "But it was not the conspiracy that killed me, but the boundless despair. Magdal, can you understand that feeling? There is no hope, a dark and lightless road leads straight to the abyss and death. path of."
Magdale said softly: "But it was just a dream. You finally met Mr. Brando, didn't you?"
Griffin took a deep breath.
She finally calmed down and replied: "Thank you, Magdale, that may be true - I still recall the scene when Lord Overwell first described him to my ears. The situation on that day is still vivid. I still remember it vividly. I later exchanged letters with him and used the brooch as a token. That was perhaps the boldest move in my life, but now I think about it, how lucky I was at that moment."
Magdal looked at his friend tenderly, but his eyes were full of envy: "You are indeed lucky, Griffin."
Princess Griffin raised her head and looked at her: "Are you tempted too, Magdal?"
"How can I not be tempted," Magdale replied calmly: "He changed the trajectory of my life and entered my heart. No matter what, I can't understand his position in my heart - I originally thought that I I should finish this life in an ordinary way, but it turns out that a peaceful life is not as easy as I imagined, and it was Mr. Brando who made me understand this."
Griffin responded in silence.
Yes, maybe people can only understand it when that moment comes. Even holding on to everything that is precious at the moment turns out to be a luxury.
Both of them looked at the lights in the darkness.
"Have you ever thought that this may be the last New Year we will see in this life, Magdal?"
"But people still carefully guard this last bit of light."
"I hope the long night will eventually pass."
¡¡
Freya checked her war horse one last time. She patted the animal's neck, smoothed its hair, carefully added hay and beans to it, and then carefully exited the stable. The lights were bright in the distance, and the soldiers of the White Lion Army were wiping their weapons and armor. Although it was New Year's Eve, the whole camp was a bustling scene. Looking around, everyone was making final preparations.
After today, they will leave this homeland and go to the plateau to participate in the real war.
Although it was the first time for many people to go to the battlefield, everyone seemed very heroic and joked with each other. A young soldier talks animatedly about his maiden wife and life after the war, even though many of them understand that most of them may not be able to return to this land.
But people encourage each other, and everyone clearly understands that the reason why they die generously is precisely because of the care behind them; and the reason why they choose to leave is precisely because they deeply love everything here.
Freya stood silently in the darkness.
And what is the concern in her heart?
Is it just for Eruin?
Or for everyone in Butchi?
She looked at the soldier's young face from a distance, with the happy smile on it, and her heart actually hurt. It seemed like it was still that night in Prague, with the bright moonlight shining in the alleys of Prague, the melodious music coming from the tavern like a nocturne, and the two people's eyes facing each other.
She still remembers that she was wearing her favorite military uniform and dressed up carefully, but that stupid guy didn't seem to notice. He only told her in detail what she should pay attention to in the future, and then personally put on the ring she gave him. situation.
¡®Do you understand now why I want you to go to the Royal Knights Academy, Freya? ¡¯
¡®Because Freya, I need your help. ¡¯
The Valkyrie of Eruin bit her lips, tears actually falling down.
"I have no idea¡¡"
"But I'm just doing it for you."
"All of this is"
She covered her mouth and turned around, but unexpectedly she bumped into someone hard. Freya lost her balance and fell backwards almost subconsciously, but a hand caught her before that. The girl from Butchi raised her head in shock. The first thing that caught her eye was that The familiar, tall figure, at that moment, couldn't help but burst into tears.
Brando looked at the girl silently, with mixed feelings in his heart. He, Freya, and Roman were all born in Butchi, and the three of them were most familiar with each other, but he never expected that he would be in this place. It occupies such an important place in the hearts of innocent girls. He gently wiped the tears from the Valkyrie lady's face with his hands, and suddenly felt regretful about the decision he had made.
Only now did he realize how heartless it was to let Freya go to the Royal Knights Academy alone, to an environment that was completely unfamiliar to her.
But for him, this ignorant and simple girl from the countryside of Butchi chose this path without hesitation.
Freya stared blankly at Brando's hand. On the index finger, there was a ruby ??ring shining with light, which was exactly the same as that time.
"Thisis this?" She almost couldn't believe her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Freya," Brando replied awkwardly: "I accidentally broke the ring you gave me. This ring was specially made by Master Tamar. I can't accompany you tomorrow. Karasu, but I hope it will protect you instead of me¡ª¡ª"
Tears welled up again, but this time, they were tears of happiness.
With tears in her eyes, Freya watched Brando carefully hold up his hand, and then put on the ring with both hands. At that moment, she felt like she was about to faint.
"Come with me to the banquet, okay." Brando took Freya's hand and was about to lead her out.
But Freya stood still.
Brando turned back to look at her. The girl shook her head firmly. She seemed to muster up all her courage and said, "I'm going to the battlefield tomorrow, Brando."
¡°But I don¡¯t know if I can come back alive¡ª¡ª¡±
"Tonight, let me do whatever you want for once, okay?"
It was a lily that bloomed quietly in the dark night. Brando looked at Freya steadily and said nothing for a long time.
