The bright moonlight scattered through the dense forest, reflecting on a young girl at the top of a mountain cliff.

After leaving the village of Divine Grace, Erin did not return to the castle, but made her way here, sitting on the edge of the cliff, staring at the corner below, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, soon, a large wave of magic power surged nearby.

The strong winds of wind magic swept the entire forest of leaves around them, and they shook and rustled in the girl's ears.

However, this state did not last long, the release of magic seemed to be canceled, the trembling leaves finally stopped, and the dense forest under the night gradually fell silent.

After the loud rustling of the blockbuster, it was replaced by a small rustling sound behind Erin, who was quite cautious.

Also under the moonlight, the maid gently lifted the bush banana leaves that were hidden in front of her, and after that, Zero saw the girl sitting on the edge of the cliff at a glance.

Finally...

Got it.

"Miss..."The dark golden dragon eyes quickly disappeared, and the maid after her eyes changed back to their original state, and the magic power on her body was also taken back, returning to her usual state of zero, and walking quickly in the direction of the girl.

On the other hand, Erin was not surprised by Zero's behavior of chasing after her, and she didn't even look back.

"Zero, do you remember here?" The girl's question suddenly sounded on the cliff.

"Remember... Over here? ”

Zero, who was anxiously chasing after the eldest lady all the way, didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment, and after being mentioned by Erin, the maid looked around.

This cliff...

Maybe it's because of the night, the scenery is different from the daytime, and Zero didn't understand the eldest lady's words too much at the first time.

However, the next second...

When the maid's eyes inadvertently glanced at a few red fruits growing on the cliff face...

Sweet berries?

This red fruit seemed to evoke the maid's memory at once, and Zero's eyes suddenly fell into the color of memory, and she finally understood what Erin meant.

"Here it is..."

"Where did we go out on our first adventure?" Zero answered the girl's previous question.

After hearing Zero's statement, Erin laughed inexplicably, her emotions seemed to have calmed down, and the girl shook her head and said:

"Adventure? There's no need to say it so nicely, it's just that he sneaked out of the castle without permission. ”

"I remember that this time, we were all scolded miserably, Eddie was even locked up by his father for a month, now that I think about it, it's all because of my own desires."

Erin paused as she said this, and the next girl stretched out a hand, and under the moonlight, a mysterious ancient rune imprint loomed in Erin's palm.

The girl stared blankly at the mark.

This is the family contract she got after summoning Liao Qi, and it is also the thing she cherished the most.

Erin can't deny that she has had the idea in her heart that as long as the contract exists, Liao Qi will never leave her side, which is like a silk thread that binds her tightly to her family.

However, it wasn't until today that Erin suddenly realized that in her own opinion, it was the silk thread that connected her and her family, and in Liao Qi's eyes, I am afraid it was just...

Heavy shackles, right?

"At the end of the day, everyone craves unfettered freedom."

"At the beginning, weren't we just because we were strictly required by our father to leave the castle half a step since we were young, so we looked so much at the outside world, so we did the act of sneaking away, didn't we?

Erin seemed to be talking to Zero, and it was like talking to herself.

The girl's palm flipped over, and the contract rune suddenly disappeared into the girl's body, no matter what, after calming down, Erin found that it was still the most cherished thing for her, even now.

On the other side, Zero also somewhat understood the words of the eldest lady, and the maid suddenly frowned, and couldn't help but speak:

"Miss, you mean Liao..."Zero stopped as soon as she spoke, she didn't forget that Erin had asked her not to mention Liao Qi's name again.

So the maid had no choice but to change her words:

"He, does he want to break the contract and leave Miss's side?"

After Zero said this, she, who is also a member of the family, of course understood that this was an absolutely intolerable taboo for the blood clan, so the maid did not wait for Erin to answer, and subconsciously said again:

"Miss, could there be any misunderstanding in this? Miss, you... Where did you find out? Who told Miss? This... This must not be true! Don't be deceived, Miss! ”

The more the maid said that the more nervous she became, and in the end, she didn't even question it, but directly denied the authenticity of the news to Erin.

Flutter...

Listening to the anxious tone behind her, the girl laughed again as if she had thought of something funny, and Erin finally turned around and looked at the maid.

"Zero, I ask you, you have to tell me the truth, when you were a child, when you were still my mother's family, you... Have you ever had the same thought? ”

Zero, who was stared at by Erin, looked slightly cramped and uneasy.

Her eyes were a little evasive under this question, and the maid bit her lip for a long time before she reluctantly replied:

"No... Never..."

"Yes, it seems that it was not you who shouted to me confidently at the beginning, how to defeat my mother's rebellious little dragon?"

Erin's eyebrows flirtatiously pierced Zero's lie.

For those precious memories of childhood, even if it is zero forgetting, the girl will not forget, she remembers it clearly, after all, this is the only place where the girl can get warmth in every lonely night.

"So... So Miss, you have to believe Liao... Trust your family! ”

"He may just be impulsive, or maybe he may just be misled by someone, as long as Miss can sit down and have a good talk, I believe he will not disappoint Miss!"

The maid had already smelled the turn of events from Irene's words, so Zero hurriedly added firewood and took the opportunity to continue persuading the girl.

And that's exactly what happened.

Erin has actually long since detached herself from her anger at Liao Qi.

"Zero, why do you keep helping Liao Qi talk, what's the matter, don't you like him?" The girl suddenly changed her conversation and began to joke, and she began to recite Liao Qi's name first.

"Miss!" The maid shouted angrily at first, but in the bottom of her heart, she was more relieved and happy.

Since Erin can say such things, it proves that there must be no problem.

The biggest crisis was lifted, and I don't know if it was because of the touching scene, Zero's memories of her past were slowly opened.

So, the maid answered Erin very seriously:

"Because, Miss's mother, who is also the owner of Zero, Mistress Alyssa corrected Zero! I'm sure you, as the owner's daughter, Miss Erin, will be able to do the same! ”
