At the gate of the royal capital Gazhik

"That's it for you, Your Royal Highness Princess," Qin Xun bowed deeply to Princess Ellie and said gentlemanly

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Qin Xun, with the help of Your Excellency and others, Her Royal Highness and I were able to return to the royal capital safely without being attacked," the guard replied politely

"That's it, Your Highness Princess, remember to be happy when you go back," Yui took Princess Elle's hand and smiled as she stuffed the candy into her hand

"You said you should come to me often," the princess said gratefully, putting away the candy and looking at the smiling Yui expectantly

"Of course, didn't we pull the hook, we won't forget it," Yui stretched out her little thumb and made a hook gesture, smiling happily

"Hmm!" Princess Ellie nodded vigorously, her eyes glinting with excitement

After separating from Princess Ellie, Qin Xun and the others came to a hotel called Eriklia in the royal capital of Garik to temporarily renovate

"Eh, Garik is really big," Yui said as she stood on the windowsill of the hotel, looking out the window

The originally dark night sky is illuminated by the brightly lit Garik as if it were day, and from time to time beautiful fireworks are released in the center of the town, which slowly rise into the air and detonate at the highest point, a small point of light instantly turns into a huge firework, beautiful but short-lived

Yui looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky in fascination, thinking that it would be nice if she could set off fireworks with her big brother, but Yui suddenly blushed when she thought of this

"Be careful, don't catch a cold," Qin Xun shouted at Yui who was lying on the handrail of the balcony in the middle of the house, and then continued to sort out the materials and books in his backpack

Because he didn't want to be disturbed by others, Qin Xun simply bought the top floor of the hotel as his base in the royal capital. However, the top floor of the hotel was very large, so it also cost Qin Xun a lot of gold coins, Qin Xun looked at the hundreds of gold coins left in his pocket and shook his head helplessly

"Yui is good-looking" Qin Xun came to Yui's side with the prepared drink

"Well, Gazhik at night is really lively!" Yui is still lying on the veranda and staring intently at the scene in front of him, who has not returned here for a long time, is it really ironic that people who have almost forgotten their hometown, those nobles who are jealous of their talent are now enjoying life in the palace unharmed, and themselves?

The forced flight had already caused the little girl too much pain that she should not have endured at her age, but Yui did not hate her homeland, she hated only the rotten nobles who had driven her and her family to the brink of extinction

And now that she has returned to her hometown, she has grown into an adult who can face difficulties alone, and thinking of this, Yui is determined that sooner or later, the rotten aristocracy that parasitizes Gazhik will fall apart

"What do you think, because Yui is still young, so just make the juice I made for you" Qin Xun pushed Yui who was free on the side, and handed her the juice in his hand, Yui relieved himself and looked at what Qin Xun wanted to say but didn't know how to speak

"Yui is already an adult! Don't underestimate Yui," Yui snatched the cocktail from Qin Xun's hand and drank it all

"Hey, children aren't allowed to drink!" But it was too late, and Yui had already drunk all the wine in her hand, leaving only the ice in the glass and the lemon to garnish

"Big brother, Yui... Yui..."Before she finished speaking, Yui lost consciousness in a daze, and fell into Qin Xun's arms with a flushed face

"You, you, why are you always so reckless" Qin Xun put the cup in Yui's hand and the juice in his hand on the table next to him, and then carried Yui back to the house in his arms, took off her clothes and put them in the quilt

Qin Xun looked at Yui, who was gradually falling asleep, smiled and closed the door of the balcony, and the moonlight shone through the glass on Yui's face, which was as beautiful as an angel

Qin Xun closed the door and left Yui's room to come to the study, pushing open the door, the faint wood fragrance wafted in front of him, in front of Qin Xun were two huge reddish-brown wooden bookcases, the ancient murals hanging on the wall and the yellowing lights all set off the simplicity of the room

Qin Xun put the books he bought during the trip in the bookcase, took out a few small wood carvings and put them on the writing desk made of sandalwood, took out the quill pen on the side and recorded some things about the previous world on the paper, until he suddenly trembled when he wrote Ayaka, and looked at the words on the paper Kitayuki Ayaka fell into thought, who is Ayaka....

Knock knock

"Please come in" Qin Xun said, closing the notebook in his hand and putting it in the drawer, and Uncle Mu walked in with a bottle of red wine

"Are you interested in having a drink with me," Uncle Mu shook the red wine in front of Qin Xun's eyes, revealing an expectant expression

"It's okay, I haven't slept well in the past few days, maybe I can sleep well with the strength of wine" Qin Xun put down the quill in his hand and got up and walked to Uncle Mu, the two came to the fireplace in the living room and sat on the ground, Uncle Mu unsealed the red wine, and the rich aroma of wine instantly filled the whole room, and the uncle poured the wine into the cup and handed it to Qin Xun

"Do you say, will we one day truly become people of this world, forgetting everything that has happened, forgetting the things we care about and love?" Qin Xun took a sip of the wine in the wine glass and said earnestly

"Perhaps, just like now, I don't dare to recall what happened, because whenever I recall the past, I always find that another part of my memory becomes blurry, like I can't remember my family anymore" Uncle Mu shook his wine glass, the red wine in the wine glass rolled with the wine, and the fireplace flickered and danced, as if playing a silent dance

"I can't remember clearly, every day I recall things about the real world, but every day the things in my memory become blurry, like I can't remember who Ayaka is in my mind, but when I think of this name, I feel very important" Qin Xun drank wine, but there was an inexplicable sadness that was gradually taking over his body

"Ayaka? I also feel familiar, but..."Uncle Mu scratched the back of his head and didn't finish

"Maybe it's an important lover or a family member" Qin Xun drank all the red wine in the wine glass, his eyes showed a touch of sadness, Uncle Mu gradually filled Qin Xun's wine glass, but he didn't know what to say

"Forget who matters most to you?" Qin Xun didn't say anything, the flames in the fireplace were burning, making a crackling sound, and the flickering fire light shone on Qin Xun and Uncle Mu's faces warm and comfortable

"Is Yui already asleep?" Uncle Mu looked at Qin Xun, who was silent, and planned to find something else to talk about

"Yes, that fool actually drank the sleep-aiding cocktail I made, and he fell asleep unconscious in less than a minute" Qin Xun showed a wry smile, and Uncle Mu also smirked on the side

"With a stupid apprentice like you, my life has not been in vain" Uncle Mu finished the wine in the glass, leaned back on the sofa and stared at the empty wine glass in a daze, as if thinking about something

Qin Xun looked at Uncle Mu with a smile, put the wine glass on the coffee table on the side, and looked up at the moon outside the window, the moon outside the window was so bright without a trace of dirt, and the starry sky gradually dimmed under the background of the moonlight, probably through the wine and the exhaustion of the long journey Qin Xun fell asleep unconsciously

The light of the fire was still beating, and the occasional crackling of the burning firewood made it all so cozy and cozy

After falling asleep, Qin Xun had a dream, a long and wonderful dream....
