La Nina traveled quickly with Hill all the way, and it took less than three days to reach the border of the Longyuan Kingdom.

Surprisingly, there is a city on this border. The city is very large, and Biota City is much larger. Merchants come and go, constantly bringing in and out of the country.

There are many buildings in the castle, and there are dozens of taverns for traveling merchants alone. The market was also very lively, and there were many things on the stalls that Hill had never seen before.

Hill was a novelty all the way, looking around like a child as she walked.

La Niña was very attentive to the pedestrians along the way, but she didn't see the shadow of Harrest at all, "sure enough, it was still too late......".

"Is he already out of the border?" Hill came back to his senses and didn't know what to do now.

"I'm going to check the traffic records to see when he went out." La Niña affirmed Ciel's idea.

The two of them came to the exit of the border city, where there was a small temple of the sanctuary, and the congregation in it was responsible for recording the people entering and leaving

La Nina pulled out a jade plaque and flipped through the pass records without hindrance.

I've been flipping through the travel records for a whole month, and there is no Harrest's name at all.

"Harrest hasn't come out yet?". La Niña guessed to herself

"All the people who exit the border have made a record on it, and if there is no name on it, it is not out of the customs." The person in charge of the trip was a Templar nun, and she was sure she didn't miss anyone.

"I heard Uncle Xueji say that he will go abroad, or I'll wait for him here, right?" Hill said.

"It's okay to wait for him here, and if you wait for him, let him take you to the elves. I have the Elven Queen's handwritten pass here, and I can see it when the time comes. With this letter, the elves will treat you well. "La Niña doesn't seem to have time to be here with Hill anymore.

"But will he agree to take me to the elves?" Hill asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, he's a good old man, although he's a pervert." La Niña placed the envelope and a bag of gold coins in Ciel's hand. "I still have a lot of important things to do, so let's go our separate here. I'll be here again in two months' time, and if you wait until Halleste gets out of the gate, leave me a letter from the nun. ”

"Okay" Ciel agreed, she didn't want to ask La Nina to stay with her anymore. She thinks La Niña already takes good care of her, and it would be unreasonable to ask for more.

La Niña places Ciel in one of the best taverns in town, then rides off on a unicorn.

Looking at La Niña's departing back, Ciel felt a pang of emptiness again...... The girl went back to her room and locked herself up, feeling insecure.

......

It's been a week, and Hill goes to the nun every morning to stand guard with her, watching countless people come and go every day, but he just can't wait for Hallest's arrival.

"Go back and rest, and if the boy from Hallrest comes, I'll tell him to ask him to find you at the tavern." The nun looked at Hill with a look of disappointment in her eyes once a day, and she was about to feel sad.

Hill listened to the nun and returned to the tavern, and after dinner, shut himself in his room.

The girl didn't really want Harrest to come, she wanted two months to pass quickly, and looked forward to the next time La Niña came to take her along.

"Knock knock... Knock knock..."

Around eight o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on Hill's door.

Hill opened the door nervously, it was not a bad guy or a Harrest, it turned out that it was just the tavern owner who came to ask for payment, and the girl locked the door after paying the fee.

Being insecure and bored alone, she began to recall her life for more than ten years.

Hill recalls that as a child, she always stayed alone in the dark library of the castle and read a book, and since then she has longed for the outside world. But her father, Hakuya, was reluctant to let her step out of the forest, and wherever she went, she was always followed by a magician maid.

As she grows up, Hill gradually understands that going out is nothing more than delusion, so she becomes more obsessed with the world of the book. With a huge library of hundreds of thousands of books, she can learn new things every day. Her favorite book is called "Persona", and she has read it many times. The book tells the story of a knight who travels around the continent, and the powerful knight travels along the world line, and he sees a lot of interesting people and things along the way. Although there are many dangers along the way, a wise knight will always find a solution. The ending of this story is Hill's favorite, and the knight walks along the world line and finally discovers that the original end is at his beginning!

When she grew up, the little girl became a slim girl. She looked at her flawless body from the mirror and began to sprout girlish emotions. For a while, she specialized in reading romance novels, and she could only read them secretly, not by anyone. Some books brought tears to her eyes, some made her feel sorry for herself, and there were even some books that made her blush...... Anyway, after getting used to it, she thinks it's not bad to live in the sea of books in the castle.

Until one day Hakuya said to her that she was going to get married, for the sake of the Austin family's recovery.

The girl did not want to get married, but in front of her father, she was just a lamb, and she had no power to resist. The only thing she could do was not eat or drink, but then Shiratani smacked a stone table in front of her, and she finally knew that it was all just delusion.

Hill knew she was going to get married a year in advance, and it was probably the worst year she had ever had. She always felt that there was a pair of invisible eyes in the castle watching her, peeking at her. She didn't want to get married, but these eyes had already seen her naked, forcing her to put on a wedding dress, forcing her to ride on a white horse with the person she had never met.

The girl's eyes became hollow day by day.

Until later...... The girl riding a unicorn suddenly appeared, as if she had known her since she was born, and when they met, they were as close as old friends.

The maiden rescued her from the trapped castle, loved her, cared for her, enlightened her, and comforted her.

The girl riding the unicorn is as majestic as a queen, but as intimate as a lover...... It's a really amazing feeling for Hill.

Late at night, Hill took off La Niña's long black dress and quietly slipped under the covers.

In addition to the sea of books, in her dreams, she can also meet this world.

In dreams, it is a second world for many people.
