Chapter 19: Princess Eleni's Panic
"Huh!"
The mysterious girl who looked at Alicia also looked extremely surprised as if she had read something from Alicia's gaze.
The two looked at each other silently for a while, and the mysterious girl's gaze at Alicia suddenly became a little more unclear.
She put on her wide black-rimmed glasses again, stood up, and introduced herself to Alicia politely: "Hello, I'm Luna Cynthia Sarina Phoebe Diana Artemis...... Angele Leo Finnier. ”
The mysterious girl's voice is crisp and pleasant, with a hint of mesmerizing magnetism. She recites her real name in a hymn-like aria, but no one but Alicia can hear what she says. All they heard was the first syllable "Luna" of the mysterious girl's self-introduction. The rest of the voice sounded as if it were completely absent, only ringing in the back of Alicia's heart.
"Luna, Blue Moon?"
Eleni was slightly puzzled, she obviously felt that the mysterious girl sang a long list of nouns like a hymn, but she couldn't remember any of them, only the name Luna was deeply imprinted in her mind.
There are three moons in this world, which are Catherine the blood-red moon, Elune the silver-white moon, and Luna, the blue moon. In ancient mythology, Catherine the Blood Moon was the goddess of the Red Moon of the Blood Clan, and the power of the Blood Moon she exuded had a huge influence on the power of the Bloodline, and was always regarded as the source of the Bloodline's power.
Elune, the Silver Moon, is the goddess of the Silver Moon of the Moon Elves, and the silver moonlight she spreads contains a strong life force, and the life of the entire earth is blessed by her, so it is regarded as the source of life.
And the blue moon Luna, there is no real goddess image, but she is the only moon with periodic cloudy and sunny changes, and the calendars of the major civilizations on the mainland are based on her round and short changes, and she is the cornerstone of the calendars of all civilizations. At the same time, her changes in the shade and weather also greatly affect the elemental tides of the world, and the blue moonlight she emits contains the purest magic, so the blue moon is regarded as the source of all magic, the embodiment of the goddess of magic.
The girl named Luna is clearly as mysterious and elusive as the mysterious Blue Moon.
Alicia's gaze remained unchanged, and she turned her head slightly, looking behind the girl with the same name as the blue moon, through the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the transparent flower hall, an old man shrouded in black robes nodded to her slightly, and then turned into a cloud of black smoke and slowly disappeared.
This mysterious black-robed old man is none other legendary powerhouse who guards the royal family of Ray Grace, His Excellency "Shadow of Death", and it is obvious that this mysterious girl with a string of titles long enough to be comparable to the length of a hymn can appear in the palace, and must have received the attention and permission of this legendary powerhouse sitting in the center of the Mosenhai Palace.
"I'm Alicia!"
Alicia looked at the mysterious girl named Luna and replied calmly.
"Alicia, nice to meet you!"
Alicia's direct announcement of her name made the mysterious girl look very happy, and she stood up excitedly and stretched out her right hand, as if she wanted to shake hands with Alicia.
Alicia looked at the mysterious girl's outstretched right hand, her eyes condensed, and she didn't move for a long time.
For a while, time seemed to freeze, the mysterious girl stared into Alicia's eyes, Alicia stared at the mysterious girl's right hand, and an inexplicable force field filled between the two, like a statue in an ancient temple, full of vicissitudes and echoes of history.
The other girls present all inexplicably had a feeling of being excluded, as if there were only Alicia and the mysterious girl in this world, and everyone else was looking at the two from afar away from the world.
Eleni even felt that something was very wrong, whether it was the royal family's superior bloodline from the astral elves, or the ice and snow holy power from serving the ice goddess, all of them reminded her that there was an indescribable communication between Alicia and the mysterious girl through an indescribable channel.
An inexplicable panic arose in Eleni's heart, originally she and her sister were very close, as long as they stretched out their hands, they could hug each other, but now under the influence of some inexplicable force, the distance between the two seemed to be getting farther and farther away, so that she had a feeling that her sister was about to leave her forever.
Something was wrong, what was wrong?Eleini asked herself repeatedly, the more nervous she was from the power of the bloodline and the penance experience in the Ice and Snow Temple, the more sensitive her senses became, and the quicker her thinking became.
The other girls in the flower hall were all out of ignorance and confusion, and their minds were in a state of stagnation under the influence of invisible forces. Eleni was keenly aware that the posture and movements of the mysterious girl named after the Blue Moon made her feel inexplicably familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
It is definitely not an ordinary handshake ceremony, which is generally only used between men, and even if it is occasionally used by women, it should be used with the left hand instead of the right hand. Only the kiss between the princess and the knight will raise the right hand first......
As a princess who has been constantly guided by court etiquette since she was a child, Eleini instinctively noticed the etiquette meaning represented by the mysterious girl's movements.
Handshake ...... Kiss the hand...... Wait, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Elini's mind, remembering the poems in the "Dan Lun's Fairy Tales" that she had just read...... In an instant, countless messages surged like a tide, the origin of the royal family of Rain, the first meeting between the Ice Queen and the Heartless Knight, epic songs, historical sculptures, and secret texts that have been handed down since ancient times......
It seemed like a moment had passed, and it seemed as if a century had passed. Alicia seemed to have made a decision, and raised her hand slightly, about to grasp the palm of the mysterious girl's outstretched hand.
Seeing Alicia's palms approaching the mysterious girl's palms little by little, thinking of the true meaning of this handshake, Eleni suddenly felt a fear that she was going to lose her sister forever.
Panic and confusion filled Elini's mind, she didn't want to lose her sister, she wanted to stop the two palms that were slowly approaching and about to clasp together. However, she suddenly found that at this moment, her body seemed to no longer belong to her, no matter how anxious she was, no matter how much she wanted to raise her arm, she couldn't even move her fingers.
Don't don't don't ...... She doesn't want to lose her sister, her sister belongs to hers and must not be taken away.
Last time, she couldn't stop her sister from pulling up the sword of the Heartless, she could only watch her sister lose all her emotions and become an iceman who didn't know how to laugh, cry, or know joy and sadness.
No, never!
Great courage pierced Elenie's heart, breaking through obstacles like a flood and sending out a cry from the depths of her heart.
"No!"
Unconsciously, the power that bound Eleni disappeared, she stepped forward, suddenly hugged her sister's arm, stopped between Alicia and the mysterious girl, bravely looked directly at the mysterious girl, and asked, "Are you a witch or a witch?"
"Huh?"
Eleni's behavior seemed to surprise the mysterious girl, and she pushed the wide glasses on the bridge of her nose, and looked at Eleni seriously for the first time.
"There are no real witches after the end of the Dark Age. The mysterious girl looked at Eleni and answered her question seriously: "I am not a witch, nor am I a witch...... If I say that, will you feel more at ease?"
Who will be at ease, just because you are neither a witch nor a witch, I am more worried!
Under the gaze of the mysterious girl, Alini felt as if she had been seen through by the other party from her body to her heart, and she couldn't help but be very annoyed. She blocked her sister behind her, like a lioness guarding her cubs, and looked at the mysterious girl without showing weakness: "Whether you are a witch or a witch, this is not your time, and the cold wind of Scandia does not welcome the mystery that destroys the balance!"
The mysterious girl did not respond to Eleni's hostility, her face was mostly obscured by large eye sockets, so that Eleni could not see her face clearly, but the only thing that could be seen was that the pink lips under the bridge of her small nose were gently curled up to reveal a mysterious smile.
