It's been more than a month since Lulunaka and the others left, and Romeo and Apo have been alone for more than a month. After Olga leaves, Romeo feels like she is back to the days when her mother had just left. Life at that time was far from good, for children, after the death of an adult who could be relied on, it was equivalent to becoming an orphan, and it was very difficult for someone like her to go to an orphanage again after she was already a little old at that time. And Luo Miona didn't want to go to the orphanage, life was already difficult, and from her mother, she learned some manual work and could barely survive on her own. This life continued until Olga reappeared in front of her, and the days of poverty became a little better, until she was taken back to the so-called home of her own father, by the members of the Mulenin family.

Until now, he has become a dead man again, staying in the eastern part of the forest of the dead with no traces, and has become a person with no identity. However, Romeona has no complaints about this, and that suffocating place is not where her heart belongs in the first place.

But where and where was she? Romeona herself didn't know the answer.

It was already late at night, and Romeona couldn't sleep, and finally she couldn't close her eyes, so she got up and left the room. When she walked out of the room, the night wind blew on her cheeks. The wind on the seashore is moist and salty, and Romeo Ona is accustomed to this smell, and in the King's Castle, to the north is a bay as deep as a cut in the land, to the east is the strait that separates the continent of Yilan and the continent of Oulan, and to the south is the endless sea. People who live in King's Castle, especially those who live close to the sea, even breathe with the smell of seawater.

Romeona walked towards the end of the cape. She looked up at the sky, and saw the moon hanging high in the night sky, and the moonlight fell on the sea and the earth. This situation reminded her of something that happened more than a month ago. But is that real, or is it a dream?

When Romeona opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in bed, and it was already dark. The confrontation between Lulunaka and Apo last night was like a dream, and it wasn't really happening at all - it was unbelievable that it was supposed to be a dream.

Romeo Na wanted to ask Lulunaka if it was her dream or if it had really happened, but she didn't have the courage to ask Lulunaka, and Lulunaka didn't give her time to think about it, so after a few days, she left with Olga and the others, leaving her alone with Apo.

It's been a while now, but the doubts in Luo Miona's heart have not dissipated, and they have been hidden in the deepest part of her heart, becoming thicker and larger. The two men who appeared in the "dream" were silent, not explaining to Romeona, as if it were really just a dream.

Romeona walked to the end of the cape and saw a figure. In this remote place, if it is not an unfriendly uninvited guest, then the person standing there can only be Awa, who also lives in this chapel.

This scene, Romeona seems to have seen in a dream. But that time, there was another Lulunaka here, and now, Lulunaka was gone, only Apo, standing where Lulunaka had stood, looking at the sea.

When Romeona was behind him, walking towards him, Po didn't turn around. He seemed to know that it was Romeona behind him, and when Romeona approached him, he faced the sea and said, "Night travel is not a good habit, especially in such a remote place. ”

"In a well-lit place, it's not a good thing to walk at night either. "Without the protection of anyone, the weak, like me, can easily be swallowed up by the darkness." Who knows what lies in the darkness, the thief's hand, the robber's knife, the assassin's dagger, or the trafficker's lasso?"

Apo turned to face Romeona. Romeoona saw that he had the two-handed broken sword in his hand. The weapon, from a soldier who had been dead for more than a hundred years, was in Lulunaka's hands, handed to Julius, and then to Apo. Even with the moonlight, the broken sword remained dim.

"You used to live in King's Castle, didn't you?" Awa asked.

Romeo nodded. Awa looked at the sea again, "It's a good place, but it's also a bad place...... It's so bad that children like you know the pain of life, and those unnecessary realizations. ”

"My mother said that people who live in King's Castle are always a little different from people in other places. "She said that in this godly nation, the closest thing to God is us." It also made us suffer more, but we survived. ”

Apo was silent for a while, "Your mother is a devout believer. He said, "She loves that place, doesn't she?"

So she didn't leave there until she died. Romeo said.

"Did she leave with a smile on her face, or was she in pain?" Po continued.

This time it was Romeona's turn to be silent, and it was a long moment before she spoke, "I don't know. ”

Apor looked back at Romeona.

"I don't know what kind of expression it was...... It wasn't a smile, but it was definitely not a bitter resentment, but seeing her like that made me sad. The memories of the past are still in my heart, but for Romeona, the face of her mother before her death has become blurred. Was it because it was a painful memory that she selectively erased?

"I think that's a pity, kid. "That's when you know your time is running out, but you still have things you want to do." I can understand the feeling. ”

"Why?"

"I've seen too many faces like that. "I'm used to it. ”

Po didn't seem to want to talk too much about this kind of topic, "So, are you a nobleman? Some of your usual mannerisms make me feel this way, but they are not pure enough." ”

Romeona waved her hand, "It's only a half-ass, and I've been abandoned." ”

"It's a good thing if you become a true and pure 'nobleman'...... I don't think we'll have much of a chance to chat. I don't like those people. ”

"Me too. Romeo said. Romeona also wanted to say that she also found traces of nobility on Apo, but she couldn't say it. She didn't feel like Awa would like to be mentioned.

Apo didn't continue to speak, just looked at the sea, silent. He raised his broken sword in both hands and held it high as if to split the sea in two. Romeona didn't know what he was going to do, but when Po swung the broken sword down, she saw a flash of light.

The light was fleeting, but it lit up the sky and the sea. She closed her eyes as if they had been illuminated by a bright light. She didn't know what was happening, but the light was so familiar that it reminded her of what seemed to be a dream—the light was even brighter, and at last her eyes went blank, and when she woke up, she found herself in bed, and the ceiling wordlessly told her that it was a dream.

But was that really a dream?

Po retracted his sword and turned to Romeona, who had his eyes closed, "I know Lulunaka gave you some books before leaving. ”

Romeo opened her eyes a little and saw Po standing in front of her. He was as tall as Olga, and on this night, the tall silhouette looked a little similar to Olga, which made Romeo miss Olga a little. "She said it would relieve my boredom. "In a place like this, there doesn't seem to be much else to do other than daily work." ”

"She's lying to you. Apo said very directly, making Romeo Na pause, "It's not a book that can relieve boredom, it's just that you don't feel it." Or maybe you've felt it, but you don't know what it is or what it means. Tell me, did you see the light?"

Romeo nodded.

Apo sighed and reached out to press Romeona's head. "She gave me a hard time. With that, he walked past Romeona and towards the chapel.

Romeo didn't know what Po meant by that, but she knew who "she" was in Po's mouth. She turned to Po and asked, "What was the light just now, and what happened that night, was it really just my dream?"

Po didn't look back, "If you want to know if it's a dream, find out for yourself." He kept walking, but finally turned back, "If there's anything you don't understand in those books, just ask me." Don't look at me like this, I'm quite familiar with theology...... I'm not a devout believer, though. ”
