When Surya opened her eyes, she found herself in the Duke's Palace, where she had not returned for four years. She was still wearing a white wedding dress, her waist was tightened, and the long white gauze dragged on the ground, which made her very unaccustomed to wearing a swordsman's uniform.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The four knocks on the door had a special rhythm, and a sense of familiarity came to my heart, and it was Rupert the butler.

"Please come in."

The old man in a tuxedo, with a straight waist and meticulously combed hair, pushed the door in.

"Miss, you still have about two hours to prepare."

The familiar words made Surya feel in a trance.

"Mr. Rupert, what year of faith is it?" She asked in a trembling voice.

Strange as it was, Rupert replied.

"April 2, 770, your engagement day, miss."

The girl took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in her heart.

"Okay, I'll prepare."

"Yes."

The butler bowed slightly, then pushed open the door and left.

Seeing him leave, Surya felt that all the strength of her body had been emptied, and she collapsed on the bed.

"I'm ...... Is it fifteen again? ”

"Do you have to live a nightmare life again?"

"Mia-sama, Mi-sama Kanlosh, is this my punishment? What exactly am I doing wrong? ”

The girl didn't seem to remember what she was doing, her mind was full of pessimism and negativity, and the originally illusory scenes around her became more and more solid.

"It's not right—"

She sat up suddenly, and the long sword was in her hand, and purple light quickly covered the blade.

"Fifteen-year-old me didn't have this kind of cultivation."

At the same time, she raised her right hand, and on her ring finger was a pale blue ring with petal patterns.

She took the ring off and carefully rubbed the words engraved on the inner ring.

"I've never regretted that I'm desperate for love."

"It turns out these are hallucinations."

Countless memories flooded back into her mind, and everything was retrieved as a necklace appeared in her hand.

"I was obviously still in the labyrinth just now, and I happened to meet Xia Mu, why did I appear here again?"

The return of memories quickly rendered the surrounding scenery illusory, and Surya immediately stood up alertly.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

With a burst of applause, a handsome middle-aged man wearing a gold-red royal dress with a ribbon on his left shoulder appeared at the edge of this chaotic space.

"It's worthy of being a woman I fancie, and she can see through the illusion so quickly."

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince." Surya frowned slightly, but was quickly relieved.

Loren Morningstar? Even if he was the third prince of the morning star, it was impossible for him to suddenly appear in the sky of the wind. I guess that's an illusion.

"Don't be like that, Suri, you can call me Loran."

"Please also ask the third prince to respect himself and pay attention to your words and deeds." The girl snorted coldly. "This marriage contract cannot be effective without my consent."

"That's why you ran away from marriage?" Lorain looked at her for a long time, and as he bent down to sit down, tables, chairs, and tea naturally appeared in the originally empty space.

"The people of the Morning Star royal family never drink tea, they only drink black coffee from Hilde." Surya said lightly, "If you're just doing such a lame illusion, please withdraw it, it won't interfere with me." ”

Luo Lan's movements were sluggish, and he turned to chuckle and said, "Very good, you made me more curious, what has happened in the past four years that has made you improve so much." ”

The girl didn't answer, and the long sword was back, the tip of the sword pointing downward, and she walked towards Loran.

"Okay, well, since you don't like foreplay, let's end it."

Luo Lan hurriedly stood up, clapped her hands again, and walked out of the fog a spirited old man.

He was dressed in a leather waistcoat, his expression was serious, his beautiful blonde hair was meticulously groomed, and he held a long sword in his hand that was exactly the same as 'courage', his body was straight, and every step under his feet was as orderly as if it had been measured.

"Grandfather?" Surya muttered.

"Let's have a real battle with the old Morning Star Sword Master, and let me see what kind of fear the Morning Star Rose hides deep inside." Luo Lan's tone was like that of the host of a stage play, and after finishing speaking, he bowed down for a curtain call, and his figure faded.

There are only two people left in the space.

The old duke has the same purple eyes as her, a little more mature than Suria, a little less sharp, but the divine light is like a sharp sword that has not yet been unsheathed, and it is not angry and arrogant.

At this moment, these eyes were full of disappointment and reproach.

"Su Li, you're slacking off again!" As soon as he opened his mouth, he was rebuked.

The girl couldn't help but shudder, this nightmarish childhood reprimand tugged at her heart.

At that time, her grandfather was not in a coma, and he would urge her to practice swords every day, and the back of his hand was often full of marks of wooden sword blows, and sometimes even swollen to the point that he could not even hold the sword, and had to be tied with a rope before he could strike.

"I didn't! I've never slacked off! She retorted loudly.

Grandfather, I really never slackened.

"And say no, you are about to turn twenty and have not yet opened your own realm, is the identity of a gilded swordsman (40-50) enough to satisfy you! When I was twenty years old, I couldn't find an opponent at Morningstar, what about you? How do you ask of yourself? ”

"That's different, grandfather! I just need to overcome myself and constantly surpass my previous self, I don't need to compare with you! People are different, I don't slack off, I can answer this question confidently, and there is no one to answer it for me. ”

The girl's eyes were full of determination, her wrist flipped, and the blade of her sword gently slapped against her left shoulder.

"The answer lies in this sword, in the name of courage."

There was a hint of relief in the old man's eyes.

"Hopefully you're not lying, you can really beat yourself."

After saying that, he made the same swordsman salute.

"The test is also in this sword, in the name of courage."

With that, he rushed over.

Surya did not dare to slack off at all, and also held his sword to catch up.

Two identical long swords intersected, and two purple fighting qi of different shades were entangled with each other, sending out a fierce collision.

In the stalemate, Rhine's sword suddenly turned sideways, and the whole person also bullied forward, as if he was not satisfied with the current combat distance.

Holding the sword in both hands, Surya blocked with all his might, and at the same time leaned to the right side, kicked hard with his left leg, and the whole person jumped forward to the right, almost passing by his grandfather, and at the same time slashed the long sword against the opponent's scalp.

Rhine bowed slightly, and a few strands of blonde hair fluttered in the air, which were cut off in an instant, and then turned into nothingness.

The two staggered, and in the first round, the girl had a slight advantage.

"Very well, Sully." Rhein nodded slightly, and then his expression changed suddenly.

"Do you think that's enough?

"Have you forgotten the mistakes you made?

"Have you forgotten the situation of the Edwards family?

"Is the strength of the gilded rank enough to support the crumbling edifice of the family? Are you really happy with the status quo? Or are you just ignoring your family for your own selfish desires, for the so-called freedom and dreams? ”

Surya was like a heavy blow, and the palm of the sword holding it was slightly sweaty.

"Answer me with your sword!"

In her moment of distraction, Rhine suddenly stabbed straight at her, and Suria hurriedly blocked with her heavy sword.

With a "bell", a strong force came from the broad sword body, far exceeding before.

The girl couldn't stop backing away.

"Why did grandfather's power suddenly become stronger?"

She was horrified.

"Are you cowardly, are you scared?"

The old man's eyes flashed, the purple light on the long sword was flourishing, and the attack was like a storm, and for a while, Suria's vision was filled with brilliant purple.

She wielded her heavy sword to resist with difficulty, and one accidentally kicked her in the abdomen, and the whole person flew upside down.

When she was about to land, she instinctively felt a hint of crisis, rolled on the spot, and with a "whoosh", the long sword grazed her hair and cut through the air.

"You're not grandfather!"

The girl shouted angrily: "Grandfather has never done this before, he can't kill me!" You're humiliating him! ”

Anger surged into his brain, and Surya swung two swords to counterattack, the powerful heavy sword with the sound of whirring wind, under its cover, the light sword was like a spirit snake hiding behind a thick shell, striking tricky.

While she attacked with anger, she had no time to care about anything else in her heart, the sword light was intertwined, and the sound of clanging was endless, and the old man's figure faded a lot over time.

After a mismatch, the two took a few steps back again, regaining distance.

Although the old man's body was dull, his expression was as usual, but it was Suria, sweating profusely, his chest rising and falling violently, and it was obvious that the action just now had consumed a lot of her physical strength.

Rhine pondered for a long time, and said lightly:

"Good, you've improved more than I expected."

Surya chuckled.

"You're wrong again. My grandfather never said such a thing to me, and he only spoke harshly. ”

"No, if he could wake up, it would be true."

The old man chuckled, then reverently raised his sword.

"The last blow, I hope there are no regrets. For Edwards. ”

Surya took a deep breath and raised his sword as well, and the light on the sword surged like a bubbling stream of water.

"For Edwards."

The two glanced at each other, and launched a dash at the same time, one was rich and heavy, the other was light and dazzling, and the two brilliant purple streamers collided together, and the entire chaotic space was bright.

The sword was divided, and the two staggered.

The old man's figure gradually dispersed, and Surya couldn't hold on, and suddenly knelt on the ground.

With the sword just now, she had the determination to move forward and the courage to prove herself, but the other party was like a real grandfather at that moment, although she was harsh, she did not have a trace of murderous intent towards herself. In the case of almost equal strength, the result of such a duel can be imagined.

"Is it over?"

The girl sat on the ground, a little confused.

"Strictly speaking, it's not over yet."

A familiar figure suddenly appeared in the mist, and the tone was equally familiar.
