"No! it's not true! Sue me, it's a lie!"

Emilia couldn't take what the Lich King said. [hua.update fast,The website page is refreshing,There are few ads,,I like this kind of website the most,Be sure to praise]-79-

If she is only a part of others, then what is herself?

With a burst of cheers, Amelia's body grew rapidly, quickly returning to the state she was in when she practiced "Eclipse Star" - the level of the body she was 24 years old in!

"You're lying!" said Amelia, who flashed her kitchen knife and slashed at the head of her savior, the owner who guided her path!

In the course of years on the run, she has developed a habit that anyone she thinks will threaten her must be eliminated first, even if it is her own master. What the Lich King said just now was assumed by her that he wanted to devour herself.

"Boom" - At the same time, the Lich King unleashed his scythe and easily defused Amelia's assault at her strongest. Not only that, but the powerful magic emanating from the Lich King's body also bounced back the power of her "Eclipse Star".

Her body turned back to its original state faster than usual, and that was because of the severe leakage of her strength, which also showed the huge gap in strength between her and the wizard king Carloven.

"Kill me. Emilia threw the kitchen knife away, giving up resistance for the first time in her life.

Before she attacked, Emilia knew she couldn't be the Lich King's opponent, and she deliberately committed the crime, preferring to die at the hands of the Lich King rather than accept the lie. You know, to deny even one's own existence is a sadder than death.

"If I were to kill you, you wouldn't save zài at all. The Lich King withdrew his "parting" and said in a deep voice, "I know this is a cruel thing to do to you, but you need to know sooner or later. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to hua.]"

"I won't believe it. That lie is full of errors!" Emilia refused, shaking her head.

"A lie? Actually, you and I are both in lies......" the Lich King lamented.

At that time, Pope Eiffelton, because of the long-term stubborn disease, difficult to cure, so except for some important occasions, His Majesty the Pope almost did not 'show up', and many of his holy affairs could not be handled in person; and Alice, the holy 'woman', was very young when she took over the post of holy 'woman', only 14 years old, and had no experience or ability to take over the Pope's handling of holy affairs, so the central church appointed a cardinal as a cardinal under the Pope's personal authority to assist the Pope in handling holy affairs.

Now, however, the cardinal has a new job: to teach the papal heir who has just returned from the outside world, and who is also the "stigmata" that has been rare for hundreds of years.

Although the Stigmata is still a child, he seems to have shown an amazing talent for learning everything quickly. In addition to Howard's own high potential for learning light magic, this is inseparable from the strict teachings and proper cultivation of his mentor, Grand Cardinal Gregory. Howard worked hard to learn from Professor Gregory, in part to thank Gregory.

Howard knew that he had been saved by Gregory, so he had to do his best to satisfy Gregory, but Howard didn't care if he was the heir to the Pope. At times, Howard even wondered why he had earned the status of "Stigmata", considering that not so long ago he was a dirty, tired shoemaker apprentice that no one cared about. Although Howard also knew that the Stigmata had a higher status in the Holy Court of Light than the Pope and the Radiant Holy Woman, Howard did not have the consciousness of the so-called "High One", and it should be said that he was afraid of the burden that would come to him in the future. This kind of 'confusion' and 'chaos' of his sense of identity also made some jokes when he first arrived in St. Pope's Island.

When he attended an important occasion for the first time, a large group of priests and nuns greeted him respectfully, and the heir of the pope was so frightened that he shouted for help, ran away on the spot, and fled outside the hall to hide, causing the priests and nuns in the temple to be stunned, and the grand cardinal standing next to him had black lines on his face.

However, such a mess will not happen again. Over time, Howard gradually adapted to life in the Temple of Light. However, he felt as if he had lost something. Every day with good food and clothing, and a life of honor, the price is the loss of freedom. Howard was not allowed to go to the world outside the Temple of Light, and even because of his special status, his behavior was strictly regulated, and what he should do and what not to help was strictly restricted by the Grand Cardinal.

After being studied and attending public occasions and taking up most of his daily life, the free time left for Howard Jr. was extremely limited, and only enough for him to rest and sleep. However, every night before going to bed, he would take out the worn-out paintbrush given to him by his mother, and weep alone in the bed. He misses his mother in Heaven, he misses his father who is desperate for life out of nowhere, and he even misses the river in the town. Looking back, although the days were hard, only one or two hours a day could swing the brush freely by the river, and collect everything in the eyes in the drawing board, that was already a very happy life; however, since he came to the Central Church, this paintbrush has not played its due function once, even if he wants to paint, he does not have much time, and the cardinal will not allow it, and after a long time, a precipitation called "depression" has arisen in the heart of little Howard.

As a result, his 'sexual' personality began to change slowly. The former sunny boy is gone, replaced by a taciturn, melancholy teenager. Maybe this life, just like this, will be trapped in the high walls of this castle forever - every time I think of this, Howard has a faint cramping pain in his heart.

However, life in the Temple of Light is not without things to look forward to and pursue for Howard Jr. If there's anything else that would make Howard willing to stay, it's companions.

The Grand Cardinal told Howard Jr. that when he was rescued from the necromancers by the Holy Army, the other two friends were also rescued together, and the three children were sent to the Central Church together. Falaya and Duros recovered earlier than Howard, but they could not stay in the Temple of Light forever, so the Holy See evaluated the potential of the two orphans and sent them to "where they should go". Faleia was sent to the Founding Evangelical Seminary, while Duros was sent to the outlying islands east of the Holy City to train as a Holy Inquisition.

Although the three of them were not separated by the end of the world, and even the places where they were located were outside the jurisdiction of the Holy City, Howard could not see the two friends at all while he was within the high walls, but Howard was convinced that as long as the three of them were still alive, there would always be a moment to see each other.

It is precisely because of the support of this belief that he persevered tenaciously in this prison called the "Temple of Light".

Finally, the moment of reunion of friends came as expected.

Five years later, in the year 4483 of the original continental calendar, that is, in 433 BC of the Age of Light—this was four years before the outbreak of the Demon War. It was on the 'spring' day of this year, after a big mass, that the three childhood friends were finally reunited.

However, this reunion debunks a lie and traps them in another, bigger lie
