Act 42

At the same time, in the banquet hall, Tia also meets an unexpected person.

"You're that Lawson's sister?"

Standing in front of her was a silver-haired girl, who looked left and right, and then asked, showing her cute tiger teeth.

"Well, that's right. ”

Tia knew Cecilia's identity, of course, and in a sense, Cecilia should be Tia's aunt, and she quickly nibbled the chicken leg off her hand, then wiped her hands with a napkin.

"What about others?"

Cecilia asked, feeling that the girl in front of her seemed familiar, but she was sure that she hadn't seen each other.

"Maybe it's a nice night out with some lady. ”

Tia said that she didn't know what Rosen and Ain were doing, in fact, she was not familiar with the girl named Ain, but judging from Rosen's performance, that person seemed to have a deep relationship with Rosen.

"Yes, he's really the same person as a saint. ”

Cecilia sat down next to Tia, I don't know if she used some special means, the people around her didn't notice the appearance of the silver dragon lady, or they were still immersed in the banquet.

"I looked into the guest list a little bit. ”

She said, glancing at Tia.

The young girl was drinking the red wine in her glass, and although the image of underage drinking seemed a bit taboo, Tia was actually a few hundred years old, so she was considered a legal young girl, so there was no problem.

"You are indeed Tia and Rosen from Bunajien, of the House of Ulysses. ”

Cecilia continued, seeing that Tia did not make any changes.

"But I think that place in Bunagien should be a dilapidated town, and I didn't expect to be able to cultivate talents like your brothers and sisters. ”

Rumors had already spread about Lawson's rivalry with Greysius in the afternoon, and although Lawsen's name had been withheld, Cecilia immediately guessed who the young nobleman with excellent swordsmanship was.

After all, it is not surprising that someone who can have that deep conversation with Cecilia has no matter what talent he has.

"Your Excellency has won the prize. ”

Although Tia didn't seem to have any fluctuations, she was very glad in her heart for the camouflage ability of this illusion, otherwise they would probably have been spotted by Cecilia.

"Since your brother is not here, then the continuation of the morning, just ask you. ”

Cecilia didn't let Tia go, she asked.

"Where did you hear about the fire?"

Tia thought for a moment before replying.

"My family has some secrets. ”

Her words are both a lie and a truth.

On the one hand, the "Ulysses" family should indeed be unaware of these things, but on the other hand, Tia herself does know a lot about these things.

"Secret? That's funny. ”

Cecilia's gaze fell on Tia, and she felt more and more that there was an unusually familiar smell on the other party.

"Since it's a secret, then I won't pursue it to the end, I just want to ask what you think of this war. ”

The "you" in Cecilia's mouth contains both mortal meaning and the secret hidden behind Tia.

"This war?"

Tia asked rhetorically, thinking for a moment before answering.

"This war will be won, but the price to be paid will be extremely heavy. ”

"We expected that. ”

Cecilia knew that as early as when the Sages gathered, Avinia, who had the ability to foresee, had told them that perhaps this war would be the last war experienced by the Sages, and although her ability could not be directly applied to the Sages, she could also deduce this answer through many clues in the future.

"The so-called sage is the one who has been chosen by the goddess to carry grace, but who has also mastered his fate, which is an equivalent exchange. ”

"Even if this peace doesn't last long?"

Tia asked, knowing that in a thousand years, the earth would be in chaos again, and the sacrifices of the Sages would only keep the world alive for a thousand years.

"For us who were born in times of war, even a day of peace is peace, you know, dragons were born warriors under the command of the goddess, and in the distant past, I don't know when, it was the dragons who fought against foreign enemies who tried to invade this world, and this war was far more tragic than it is now, and it lasted longer. ”

As she spoke, Cecilia took a sip of the red wine in her glass.

"These are all things that I learned after I awakened my bloodline, peace is not the main axis of our world, war is the eternal proposition, so we will fight for peace that is almost imperceptible even for a short time. ”

After a moment's hesitation, Cecilia smiled.

"It's strange that I hadn't told anyone else about it. ”

"You're carrying too much. ”

Tia knew Cecilia's end, and her words contained a double meaning.

It is not only lamenting the fate that the dragons must bear because of the bloodline inheritance, but also lamenting that Cecilia will inherit the fire to burn herself and continue the original fire after a thousand years.

"Yes, I've gotten used to it over the years. ”

Cecilia said, looking at Cronor Elis, a simple young man on the stage, with a kind smile and listening to the conversation of several nobles.

Most of the Sages had left their seats, Avinia was nowhere to be found, Reed Gray was chatting and laughing with the nobles, and Veron Eisleaf was discussing something with several robed mages.

As for Greyius and Princess Rivendell, they have long been missing, and everyone is aware of the actions of the two newcomers.

In this era, engagement is in a sense the same as a big wedding, after which Princess Rivendell will accompany Greyius to the front line for the rest of the battle.

And today, it can be regarded as their last warm day.

For a moment, Tia was in a trance, as far as she knew, most of the people present would die in the next battle, and there would be no one out of ten, but at this moment, people were celebrating for that brief moment of joy, showing sincere smiles, as if tomorrow's war did not exist.

Unlike dragons or elves with long lifespans, humans are creatures that always live in the moment, and their short lifespan and weak bodies also give them a more sensitive heart than other races.

"Enjoy the feast, then fight with all your might, and die without regrets, in our time, this is the only way. ”

Cecilia said, as if there was a hint of loneliness.
