Chapter 21: The Invitation of the King of the Northland

It seemed like a moment had passed, and it seemed like countless years had passed.

By the time Elenie's vision was clear again, everything had returned to its original state, and the mysterious girl named Luna was back in her seat, flipping through a large parchment book in her hand.

Alicia was still standing beside her, not even a step away from her, nor breaking free from her embrace, everything was as usual, as if the experience had just been hallucinating.

It was just that the tears that still remained on her face, and the surprised and surprised stares of the other ladies in the lounge, told her that nothing that had just happened was not a dream.

Eleni bit her lip, her clear empathy made her realize that it was all true, and she looked at her sister Alicia in a daze.

Alicia's gaze was calm, like a permafrost glacier in the Arctic, never changing. As if sensing Elenie's abnormality, she turned her head slightly, her eyes as blue as the sky staring at Elenie quietly, motionless.

Elenia stubbornly looked at Alicia for a long time, but she couldn't see any superfluous information from Alicia's calm gaze, and finally had to look away in frustration.

Alie's eyes fell on Alicia's hand, but she was surprised to find that Alicia had an extra ring on her hand at some point. It was a very beautiful ring, the silver-white ring had a perfect arc, floating with a layer of charming bright colors, like a clock dial-like ring surface, inlaid with a pale blue gem, the gem was not cut, but maintained a natural smooth section, but for some reason, it always looked like the eyes of the mysterious girl, and after a little more looks, there was a strange feeling that the soul was going to be absorbed.

Eleni looked at the gem in silence, she knew that this ring was the symbol of the contract that Sister Alicia had made with the mysterious girl, the silver-white ring represented Sister Alicia, and the pale blue gem represented the soul stone of the mysterious girl.

Once a contract has been concluded, it can no longer be cancelled. As stated in the oath when the contract was made, the witch and the knight either lived or died together.

Eleni bowed her head and was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised her head, bravely looked directly at her sister Alicia, and asked, "Why, why did my sister sign such a contract with her?"

Alicia looked at Alicia and replied calmly, "For protection!"

"To protect you......"

Eleni couldn't help but smile bitterly, as if the strength of her whole body had been drained. For the sake of strength, it is really not surprising, but it is very in line with Sister Alicia's answer!

She should have understood a long time ago that Sister Alicia had long since lost her human emotions, and since she pulled out the artifact of the royal family, the "Ice Hell Demon Sword", her mind had been completely frozen, and all that was left was absolute sanity, and the purpose of protecting her relatives, protecting the royal family of Rayon, and protecting the kingdom of Rayon.

And for better protection, it is a matter of course to obtain stronger power. There is no emotional factor in Alicia's thoughts, only absolute reason, after comprehensive consideration, she felt that it was more in the interests of the guardian to sign a contract with the mysterious girl and share the power and power of the witch, so she naturally chose without hesitation!

"Guard!"

Is it because I'm too weak that I need my sister to protect me?

Is it because I lack strength that I was taken away from my sister?

Elini clenched her fists secretly, mentally questioning herself over and over again.

Yes, it's because I'm too weak, so I need my sister's protection. If it weren't for his cowardice and retreat at the beginning, it would have been himself who pulled out the "sword of the heartless", not his sister who bravely stepped forward.

Yes, I am a spoiled child, my father, mother, sister, and everyone have been taking care of myself carefully and not letting myself be hurt a little bit.

However, how did you repay them? Talking like a grouse, burying his head in the snow, pretending not to see anything, so that he could enjoy everyone's protection with peace of mind?

Elenie tortured herself over and over again, forcing herself to face the questions she had been avoiding in the past......

"I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, and I beg your pardon for disturbing your party as an uninvited guest. A calm, slightly aged voice came from the entrance of the parlor, awakening Elenie from her self-torture.

Walking in was an emaciated old man, dressed in an extremely neat manner, his gray hair combed neatly, and he looked like an ordinary old-fashioned gentleman common in a country aristocratic villa in the royal capital of Golmo.

It's just that these noble ladies in the living room are resting and chatting, but no one does not show respect and importance to his appearance. These ladies of noble birth, from the Earl's family, the Marquis' family, and even the Duke's family, put down what they were doing, stood up, and greeted the old man elegantly and slightly respectfully.

This old man was none other than His Majesty's most trusted courtier, the current head of the court, Lord Merovinger. Lord Merovinger was an old servant of His Majesty, and he was already His Royal Highness's butler when His Majesty was a young prince. His style is as calm as his appearance, calm, conservative, meticulous, but never making mistakes.

"Greetings, Your Highness Alicia and Elenie, I'm sorry to disturb the gathering between your Highnesses and your young ladies!"

The old steward crossed the wide main hall to the small lounge in the side hall, bowed slightly, and greeted the two princesses, Alicia and Elini, and then greeted the mysterious girl: "Greetings, Your Highness Luna, I welcome you in the name of His Majesty the Most High, and I hope that your journey in this kingdom will be pleasant......"

"Your greetings, I received it!" The mysterious girl Luna closed the heavy tome, turned her head, glanced at the old manager of Merovinger, nodded slightly, and said: "Don't worry, follow the ancient contract between the ancestor of the Danlun witch and the silver king, in the name of the blood of the Scorpion and the Star Demon, I will walk here, and I will follow the rules of the Northlanders." ”

"Thank you for your kindness and kindness, and allow me, in the name of His Majesty the Supreme King, to thank you for your kindness and kindness on behalf of all the mortals of the Northlands!"

The old manager of Merovinger touched his chest with his hand and once again solemnly and politely greeted the mysterious girl. Then, he said, "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has brought new glory to the entire Northlands, and His Majesty the Supreme King is looking forward to meeting you. ”

"Really?"

The mysterious girl stood up from her seat, lifted her wide eyeframes, and said seriously: "It just so happens that I also have some things to do, and I want to meet the current king of the Northland!"

The old manager of Merovinger bowed slightly, and said politely: "It is my honor to lead the way for you!" After speaking, he greeted Alicia and said: "Your Highness Alicia, if you are willing, Your Majesty also hopes that you will go with you." ”

Alicia looked calm and nodded imperceptibly.
