Chapter 18: Saiya

Gail had fantasized countless times about re-meeting Seya.

But I never thought that one day it would be realized.

Even though she knew that Seya was dead, in the White Tower of Secorrid, she died from Eileen's assassination.

Her body was returned by the vampires and is still buried in the cemetery in the temple area.

However, in the present.

In the illusion created by Raven, she saw the familiar figure again.

In fact, with just one glance, she could know that the young man wearing the white priest's robe below was Seya.

She had lived with her for sixteen years, and in a sense, Seya was her mother.

So, she begged Robin to let her go down.

Take a good look at the person who used to be the closest to you.

……

"Something terrible happened tonight."

A voice said.

That's Mistress Anne.

Until now, she was only the deputy priest of the temple, and the main priest was someone else.

"Unknown Assassins from nowhere attacked the temple, and blood spread from the first gate all the way to the temple platform."

Anne frowned, "Seya, I suggest you hurry up and evacuate now. ”

"Yes, Mistress Anne."

Seya nodded, covering the contents of her arms with her priest's robe.

It looked like a big chunk bulged out of her chest.

"What's that you're holding?" Anne asked, confused.

"Oh, Mistress Anne. I'm about to tell you about it. ”

Seya stepped forward and lifted the white robe from her body.

"If you look at her, you'll love her."

In her arms, a child less than a month old lay quietly.

She had fiery red curly hair, her lips moved, and her eyes were as big as blue gems.

It's a cute little life.

Indeed, as Saiya said, you only need to look at her and you will like her.

"A child." Anne's breath paused for a second, "Where did it come from?" ”

"Not long ago, I don't know who put her in front of my door."

Seya teased the baby in her arms with her fingers and said sadly, "It wasn't until I was awakened by the child's crying and opened the door that I found her in the cradle." ”

"Didn't you see who sent it?" Anne asked.

Seya shook her head regretfully, "Not even a note or anything that semblance the identity of this kid." ”

Anne fell silent for a while.

"Until you find her biological mother, Seya, you can raise it on your behalf."

"Yes, Mistress Anne." Seya laughed happily.

She was afraid that the deputy priest would have any dissatisfaction, so she sent the child to the welfare home.

Anne's eyes were as calm as water, and her fingers gently reached for the baby in her arms.

The little thing gripped Anne's index finger tightly, the palm of which was less than half the length of Anne's fingers.

A rare smile appeared on the deputy priest's face.

"I think she has a strange magical physique, and she can't grow into a very powerful warrior in the future." Anne was vaguely aware of the flow of magic in the baby's body, and although she wasn't a magister and didn't know what it was, her instincts told her that the child was extraordinary.

"That's what I thought too." Seya smiled quietly, "I remember that there was once a powerful magic knight in the history of the kingdom, and her character was unmatched, and she always thought about the people......"

"The Plebeian Knight King." Anne calmly said the man's name, "Gail Fassbender." ”

"Yes, Mistress Anne." Seya gently shook the baby in her arms, "I want her to be called by this name, I hope she can grow up to be like the Commoner Knight King." ”

……

There was a long-suppressed sigh in the night wind.

Gail turned and buried his head in Robin's arms.

Her body trembled slightly.

Even though she didn't make any sound, Robin felt the crying coming from her.

The two men stood calmly in the corner, watching the conversation in the dark.

Robin hesitantly reached out and hugged Gail's back.

"Don't you really want to tell her anything?"

Robin said softly and quietly.

Even in the illusion, these people are no different from the real thing.

"Nope. No need. ”

Gail's voice choked as she lifted her head and gently left Robin's body, wiping tears from her face with her fingers.

"It's enough for me to see her, and to see with my own eyes how I got here."

She took a deep breath and smiled slightly, "Anyway, the current Saiya doesn't recognize me." Let's go. ”

She turned, ready to leave.

"Hey, you guys."

A voice came from behind him.

Keep Geilmer moving.

It was a familiar voice, and she had been listening to it for sixteen years.

Even if it was the slightest footsteps of the other party, Gail could recognize it.

That's Seya.

Gail turned, squeezing out a smile, trying not to let tears spill out of his eyes.

However, when she faced Seya, a tear still crawled down her face.

It was crystal clear, fell to the ground, and shattered into light.

"Oh, have I seen you somewhere?" Seya asked kindly.

She held the child in her arms and looked at the red-haired young guard opposite.

In Seya's memory, there were no such faces in the temple.

However, for some reason, she felt so familiar.

"We're the newly chosen temple guards," Gail laughed with red eyes, "Lord Seya, we've been chosen by Helois. ”

"Oh, it's Herois." Seya laughed happily, "But I'm just an ordinary assistant priest, you don't need to call me an adult." ”

There was a kind smile on Seya's face, exactly as Gail remembered.

It was at this moment that a strong urge welled up in Gail's heart, wanting to rush forward, hug Seya tightly, and never let go from now on.

"Something terrible happened tonight, there are a lot of assassins in the temple, you should hurry to the lower city to take refuge, it is no longer safe here."

Seya instructed them with concern, then shook her head again.

"No, you have just arrived, I'm afraid you're not familiar with the temple yet, I'll take you to ......"

At this moment, Seya's body suddenly tightened and her eyes widened.

In front of her, the red-haired guard rushed forward and hugged her tightly.

Gail's face rubbed lightly over her shoulder, sniffing the nice smell of Seya's hair.

Tears poured out of her eyes.

"Thank you, thank you Seya!"

Gail said this, then turned and pulled Robin by the head and left without looking back.

She was afraid that if she turned back, she would not be able to help but stay.

Stay in the illusion created by Raven, and never be able to extricate yourself.

"I already know where I'm going." Robin said.

"Yes, Lord Robin," Gail bowed his head, his eyes flushed, "I'm going to follow you to the death." ”

……

"Speaking of which, that guard just now, like you, has beautiful red hair like flames."

Behind them, Seya looked down at the baby in her arms and smiled slightly.

There was infinite tenderness in her eyes.
