When Kelly began to tell the story, it was already completely dark, and a petite figure shrank in the cold arms of the demon king, slowly telling the story of a dead man who had not been forgotten for nearly a thousand years.

Kelly Freya, everything about her is not so different. She's so smart that she can't get along with anyone.

As the adults tease her six-year-old with small toys, Kelly focuses on the soup pot behind her, which has begun to emit black smoke, and vows never to come to the house again for her own safety — just three months before the family was caught in a fire caused by carelessness.

Kelly doesn't like her little buddies, or she's "tried" to please them. Peers are too naïve and stupid in front of this peculiar genius, crying because they fall, can't sleep because of their budding teenage minds, and even bullying the girls they like. These naïve kids eventually abandon Kelly and call her "Weird Kelly". Kelly is six years old and doesn't have a single friend.

Kelly disliked her school of witchcraft and wizardry, even though her teachers were all disciples of her mother, St. Freya. The teachers took great care of her and were eager to teach her everything they knew to the nine-year-old child.

It's a pity that Kelly was already a qualified seven-ring magician by secretly studying her parents' arcane books at that time, and her teachers, the most powerful, could only barely use some very weak seven-ring spells.

After pointing out the teacher's mistake again, Kelly added the title of "prickly genius" in private, and no teacher or classmates were willing to contact her, she was too smart to make people jealous and uncomfortable.

Kelly is nine years old, and no one likes her except her parents.

By the time she was eleven years old, she had become accustomed to living alone, and she was immersed in the sea of arcane every day, when she thought her life would be like that. Her parents started nagging her, hoping that she would make at least one friend and not turn into a crazy weird girl.

Kelly was eleven years old, and arguments and disagreements took place in her family.

Eleven-year-old Kelly, whose mind has fully matured, does not want to be controlled anymore, so she easily gets rid of the "annoying" old housekeeper and her mother's tracking spell, and hides in a dilapidated hotel with a few books that she has not finished reading.

She was clever, but she did not guess that her own beauty and purity would make her a target for some men, let alone that the honest innkeeper would be a sinister and cunning pimp and privateer.

No matter how smart her brain is, she can't smell the colorless and odorless narcotic, and when Kelly wakes up again, she is locked in a dilapidated room full of people with evil smiles on their faces.

Kelly is strong, but she is a girl after all, and she begins to be scared because the mouth of the anesthetic effect cannot be opened at all, and the spell cannot be chanted. Out of fear, when she looked at the men who were getting closer and closer to her, the girl who hadn't cried since she could remember was in tears.

Then the door opened, and a tall man covered in blood and wearing light armor stood in the doorway. Behind the man, countless armed thugs fell to the ground, some still struggling, others completely out of breath.

The man walked into the room with the reverse light in this way, and with a flick of the light, the dense crowd was knocked away and came to Kelly, who was crying.

She will never forget that face for the rest of her life, nearly a thousand years, with golden hair, aqua blue eyes, and a little enemy blood on her face, but she is still handsome and resolute.

He crouched down and looked at Kelly like this, his armoured gloved hand gently wiping away her tears, and smiled at her the words she had been remembering all her life, more important to her than anything else.

"You're Kelly, I'm Ziggy Fried, I'm here to take you home."

That smiling face was forever engraved in her heart. Gently, as if tearing open a silk thread, the chain that bound her was torn open, and the tall prince gently picked up the thin and small girl, stood up silently, and walked out the door.

"Hey——! You're not a little daring."

It seemed that the movement just now woke up the privateers entrenched outside the hotel, and one after another crossbows were held by all kinds of fierce men, pointing at the man who hugged Kelly tightly.

"Lacna—" Kelly was about to chant the nine-ring spell that she could finally sing, but what happened next, she would never forget.

The man just like that, completely covering the thin girl with his shoulders and head, still moving forward.

"Shoot!" The man who seemed to be the leader began to be terrified, and he saw the Sigmar royal insignia on the man's shoulder, no matter what, if this man was to get out of here alive, this golden nest that had been in business for decades would be completely finished.

"Whoosh-"

Dozens of crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, and Kelly could feel the man's body trembling with pain, but she couldn't chant when she was hugged, she knew what "protection" was, and for the first time, she felt what "love" was.

This man who met for the first time, came for her, and in order for her not to be injured, he was willing to be shot and injured by these bandits who he had just killed easily. Still with a deeply buried face, looking at her and smiling, as if he had been hit by an arrow, it was not himself.

Ah——, Mom, is it so painful to love someone?

It turns out that loving someone is such an unreasonable thing?

In just a few tens of meters, the man's guards and the girl's parents arrived, and at this time the man was already full of crossbow arrows, bleeding profusely, and confused.

Kelly cried endlessly, tears like water opening the floodgates, she didn't understand, she didn't want to give this man to those who called "doctors".

Kelly is eleven years old, she has no friends, and she has a crush.

At the age of twelve, a group of demons invaded, and Kelly's nightmare began.

Ever since she met Ziggy, Kelly had been running to the palace almost every day, and naturally this time the prince was going on an expedition against the demons, just like every time, Kelly went with her, along with her parents, who were worried about her, although at this time the overly gifted Kelly Freya was able to use all the spells her mother used so skillfully.

In the first few months of the war, everything was beautiful, with my parents by my side and people I liked.

Every day, Kelly is in charge of magical support, and the prince kills enemies on the front lines. In the evenings, the two of them would make fires, and sometimes Emily, a mage who was a little older than her, would join in the fun. The prince holds Kelly and tells her a legend of a wizard made up by the prince called "Verznan".

During that time, every minute and every second, Kelly engraved them in her mind, and when she felt that she couldn't hold on, she was able to grit her teeth and persevere.

And just like that, six months later, the nightmare of eternity struck, one after the other.
