"Get out of the way for me!!" On the barren land, a horse-drawn carriage sped by, kicking up huge smoke and dust that stretched for nearly a hundred miles. In the driver's seat of the carriage, Hywig and Seid looked tense, each holding a rein, and the two horses at the front of the carriage galloped as if they had taken stimulants.

In the car behind, Haruka frowned, took a bottle of dark green potion from Natalie's hand and drank it down. "It's a potion that restores magic, but it tastes terrible!" Haruka said plaintively.

"Keep drinking until you're fully recovered! If you can't regain your strength, there's no point in us rushing to the lines. Natalie wiped the potion from the corner of Haruka's mouth with a handkerchief as she handed over another vial.

"It's a shame that you can imagine applying enhanced magic to horses, but your movement speed has really increased a lot. Hetila raised her head and looked at the carriage that was galloping all the way, due to the limited space in the body, it was also divided into two spaces by a simple partition, the second half was left to Foss and Millie, father and daughter, while Haruka sat next to Hetila, Natalie and Elaine in the front cabin.

"Can you stop for a moment... I just can't drink it anymore. Haruka touched the round solitude and waved his hand, "I'm going to vomit if I drink it again." ”

"And how are you feeling now?"

"It's almost recovered... It's true. ”

"Alright then, I'll take the rest of the potions first. Natalie received the rest of the potion in the package, and just then, the carriage suddenly jerked violently due to the small potholes in the road, and Haruka buried itself in Elaine's chest.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to. Haruka hurriedly got up, but because it was too crowded and the vehicle bumped again, he fell directly on Elian's body at once.

"Hey, what are you doing in the chaos!" Natalie muttered as she grabbed his hand and pulled him up from Natalie.

"I didn't take advantage of the chaos! there is really no way for the four of them to be huddled together like this!" Haruka blushed and explained in embarrassment.

"It's okay, we're all girls. Elaine smiled and shook her head, indicating that she didn't mind.

Natalie on the side glanced at Haruka meaningfully.

The atmosphere was clearly awkward. "That... Sister Elaine, why did you come with Natalie?" In order to alleviate the embarrassment, he couldn't help but open the topic.

"Me?" she was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Haruka, "Actually, I'm not a human, my father is a demon, my mother is a human, and I'm a half-demon with half demon blood." ”

"That's it... Haruka sighed, although he had known about it before, he still pretended not to know.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Scared? Why?"

"Because I'm a demon?"

"But haven't you been helping us? And even demons aren't all bad people, are they? And you're only half blood. ”

"It's a strange statement. Elaine couldn't help but smile.

"That... The reason you are here is ... ”

"Not everyone has the same idea as you, the world only knows that it was the demons who invaded their homes and slaughtered their relatives, as long as everything about the demons is absolutely evil, so without the protection of the academy, it is difficult for me to survive in human society, once my identity is exposed, it can only be a dead end for me. ”

"That's why you can't go to the empire with the other students... Haruka frowned, "Then if we reach the line of defense and join up with the Imperial Army, what are you going to do after that?"

"I'll leave alone. ”

"Wait, are you kidding?" Haruka was a little anxious.

"Calm down. Hetila on the side dragged Haruka, "Now you should also be clear about people's hatred of demons, no matter what, if this girl is found to be a demon, her fate will be miserable, and people related to her will also be implicated." ”

"Is there no other way?"

"Of course there is a way. Natalie patted Elaine on the shoulder, "Just find a new backer." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Just like the literal meaning, just find someone who has a pivotal position in the empire and become the shelter of Sister Elalian. ”

"Someone who counts ... Ah, the Third Prince Hernan?!" Haruka's name suddenly popped into his mind.

"I'm sorry I got it wrong. Natalie's arms interlaced into a crossed motion, "If Sister Elaine's demon identity is told to the prince, the prince may not be able to shelter her, after all, as the prince of a country, if it is known that he has a private demon clan, this will have a very big impact on the cause of inheriting the empire in the future, so this is impossible." ”

"That... Who else do we know and who has a pivotal position in the Empire?The most important thing is that she is willing to take such a big risk to protect Elaine?" Looking at Natalie from afara, he saw her pointing at Haruka.

"Of course it's you! Lord Black Sword Hime, who was knighted by the Empire!"

"Hey, can I?"

"Of course, the current position is not stable enough, so you have to become a hero of the empire again and create a new legend!"

"Be a hero again?!"

"That's right! The stage is ready! It's coming!" Natalie said confidently......
