Okad Federation.

The military town of Yolanta.

At the end of the day's work, Melia, dressed in a blue robe, walked to her room in Blackstar Castle.

Eusta Manor was almost razed to the ground by the "Eternal Blood". Pensions for the families of the deceased, treatment of the wounded, restoration of land damaged by the fire element, development of a reconstruction plan, and arrangements for recruiting bandits......

Everything needs to be done by she, the lord, herself.

Seeing Melia close to sleepless to deal with many affairs, even Mr. Eusta, who lost his home in the fire, was a little distressed.

Thankfully, it was probably Melia's strange luck that played a role, and the preparations for the reconstruction went very well.

The Holy See has supported a large number of people, including not only professional therapists, but also special personnel to deal with special situations. The wounded quickly recovered and the scorched earth of the manor was cleaned of the fire element.

As for the heavy physical work, it is just enough to give the newly obedient and idle robbers a little to do. If they perform well, they can join the Okard Army. People's panicked hearts have gradually settled down.

It's a sad episode, but things will eventually get back on track.

As the various affairs came to an end, Melia also returned to her normal routine. King Anguire has already been captured by the Okadian army, and there is probably no need for her help. "Eternal Blood" stabbed a big basket, but it was not held accountable.

On the contrary, many people in the Holy See who have a neutral attitude are secretly dissatisfied with the reckless behavior of the new Son of Eternal Blood.

Melia didn't take the opportunity to fall into the ground. This "magnanimous" approach won her even greater popularity in the Holy See. Melia's popularity among the people also rose with the tide, which surprised her a little.

Don't they think that the calamity stems from the negligence of their lord? But she soon understood: in this war-torn country, a willingness to lend a helping hand at a critical moment alone is enough to win the love of the people.

……

Sending the waiting maid to rest, Melia gently pushed the door open. Keeping a low profile, she did not use the castle's master bedroom, but instead rested in an ordinary bedroom.

"John?"

Melia was startled at first, then overjoyed.

John?? Goth was standing by the window, staring at the black night sky.

The young mage was dressed in spotless light gray robes, but his hair was not the usual rustic brown, but dazzling silver.

Goth's hair was a conspicuous silver color, but he dyed it back to brown in a low-key way.

"Melia ......"

Before she could speak, he stepped forward, took her into his arms, and gently stroked her ice-blue hair.

Melia's eyes widened.

There was a slight silence. Melia quietly felt the other party's body temperature.

Something must have happened...... Melia thought. But she didn't ask. She knew that if Goth wanted to speak, he would take the initiative.

Half a day. Goth gently let go of his arm.

"Melia, you've been working so hard these days," Goth said, clearing his throat, "I don't know how many people have said to you, 'You shouldn't have worked so hard,' but people will remember your kindness......"

"I'm not the lord of this place soon," Melia said softly, "and the people here didn't know who I was until a few months ago. As a lord, as well as a saint of the Holy See...... There's really a limit to what I can do for them. ”

Goth was dumbfounded.

"You have suffered too much in the barracks," he said distressedly, Melia was not a martial artist, but once had to fight with those rough people, and when she thought of how many injuries this weak girl had suffered that she should not have suffered, Goth's heart was a little heavy, "I became a saint, and I couldn't live a stable life." Teacher...... Teachers should be ashamed of this. ”

Indeed, Melia was separated from her father, Palamedes, the Black Lord, during the deadly attack on Black Floating City. At that time, both Goth and Melia thought that the archmage was dead—just as they had both mistakenly believed that the other was no longer alive.

You can imagine how angry Goth was when he found out that both the teacher and Melia were still alive. The others were also gone, and Goth believed that the great Mr. Palamedes could find whoever he was looking for in the vast sea of people, no matter what the situation. It's just that Goth never let anyone discover this dissatisfaction of their own.

The death of his wife once plunged Mr. Palamedes into despair. Palamedes is not one of the Empire's muscular fools, how could he let his daughter suffer in vain and struggle on the brink of death? Even after Melia became a Holy Lady of the Holy See, Monsieur Palamedes did not come to see her daughter in person.

"Daddy must have had his own agenda," Melia said, "at least, staying in the Floating City, I'll never be able to protect myself, let alone become a spellcaster." ”

"You are born with an arcane constitution. But if he wants you to learn the arts, he has a better way. Without...... This kind of plan. ”

"You know how to be harsh on your father," Melia said softly, "and you're not the same yourself?" Let's talk about it, from the time we realized today, how many 'plans' have you hidden from me? Either time, you refused to consult with the group, but acted on your own. ”

Goth was silent.

"You're like Daddy," Melia's finger ran over Goth's cheek, "and there is a lot of chatter, but no one tells you what's going on in your heart." But I've always believed in you. You...... Never harm others. ”

The young mage smiled.

"Thank you, Melia," he said, "I'm nowhere near as kind as you think. Seeing what you look like now, I'm relieved. ”

"What's going on, John?" Melia frowned, "I know you probably want to keep it a secret...... Can you tell me what I can say? ”

"Ah......h

The boy stared at the girl in front of him for a long time, deeply imprinting her appearance, her voice, and her smell in his mind. It's a kind of luck to be able to meet her, and to get her favor is even more happiness than the gods.

Na...... Why does such a heroine-like character like a goddess like a god like herself? And Linna, Renee, Fran...... Unlike themselves, they are like the heroines of this cloud world.

When they fall in love with themselves at the same time, none of them can be happy from it.

So you have to make your own choice. For the sake of Melia, for the sake of the people she loves, for the sake of this world that will eventually fall apart, the time has come to choose.

"I'm sorry," Goth forced himself to speak, knowing that if he didn't speak now, he wouldn't be able to bear to say it again, "there's a lot to say...... But I can only talk to you about indifferent topics......"

No. Just chatting about inconsequential topics every day is the supreme happiness for me, Melia thought. She waited for Goth to continue.

"I will fulfill my promise." Goth said.

……

Meanwhile.

The distant city of Palamedes.

Standing in the middle of the Deep Dark Dome, Palamedus, the Lord of Darkness, shook his head and sighed.

"Even if all this is already doomed to be meaningless," Mr. Palamedes whispered to himself, "are you going to 'say goodbye' to everyone?" ”

At the same time that Goth appeared in front of Melia - "he" also appeared in front of many people.

Or phantoms.

Or the real thing.

Or a dream.

The topics spoken are different.

Or a warning.

Maybe a blessing.

Or just casual chit-chat.

There is only one thing in common. The young gray-robed mage showed his kindness to everyone. It's like an old man, arranging things behind him.

"Seriously, John, you're being too presumptuous." There was a slight sadness in Mr. Palamedes' eyes.

John?? Goth did not fail to think that he might have been the predestined hero of this world.

However, for today's Goth, there is someone more suitable than him to carry the aura of the central character.

"Fate" led itself to a path that did not suit you?

I'm sorry. I didn't plan to "succumb" to "fate".
